Methods collection to support requirements engineering with focus on structuring and consolidation of requirements

The ongoing shift in mechatronics towards an increasing importance of information technology leads to increased discipline interfaces and increasing product complexity. Requirements engineering is a core aspect, in particularly, in interdisciplinary development. Here, methods can support engineers to handle complexity and coordinate development across disciplines. This contribution provides a literature based collection of existing methods. The methods are assessed according to five criteria to enable engineers to quickly select an appropriate method to support particular steps of their requirements engineering.
