SmartWiki: Support for high-quality requirements engineering in a collaborative setting

Requirements engineering is the refinement of stakeholder wishes to more or less formal requirements. Nowadays this refinement is often done in a distributed environment. In this collaborative setting Wikis are generally helpful. However, without explicit support, it is hard to achieve high quality efficiently. A smart wiki can assume responsibility of these tasks. Our SmartWiki generates context- (and process-) sensitive feedback on requirements. It automatically checks consistence and integrates constructive and analytical quality assurance in a wiki. It also helps to manage tasks, responsibilities, and experiences for organizational learning. In this paper we present our SmartWiki approach and our experiences gathered from several projects in educational and industry projects.
