چکیده مقاله :
فرآیندهای مهندسی نیازمندی های نرم افزارهای شهر هوشمند، طراحان نرم افزار را قادر می سازد تا تغییرات در نیازهای نرم افزاری مشتریان را مشخص کنند. با این حال چالش هایی در ارتباط با فرآیندهای مهندسی نیازمندی های شهر هوشمند وجود دارد که مانع از توسعه سریع و پایدار نرم افزارها می شوند. در این مطالعه از یک مرور سیستماتیک همراه با طبقه بندی موضوعی و تجزیه و تحلیل شکاف ها برای بررسی راه حل های موجود استفاده شدخ است. مطالعه ما از سال 2009 تا 2023 را پوشش می دهد. Scopus و Web of Science به عنوان بزرگ ترین پایگاه داده برای انتشارات دانشگاهی معتبر جستجو شد. با استفاده از معیارهای خروج برای فیلتر کردن مقالات در مجموع 80 مقاله معتبر انتخاب و بررسی شدند. پس از بررسی چالش ها و راه حل ها، کمبودها و نواقص موجود بررسی و چارچوبی پیشنهاد می شود که مهندسی نیازمندی های شهر هوشمند با یک رویکرد هماهنگ را فراهم می سازد. این مطالعه به مرز نظری رویکردهای مهندسی نیازمندی های نرم افزارهای شهر هوشمتد و استخراج آن ها برای عملیاتی شدن، کمک می کند.
The software requirement engineering processes of smart city software enable software designers to identify changes in customer software requirements. However, challenges exist with regard to the requirement engineering processes of smart cities, which hinder the rapid and sustainable development of software. Research addressing these challenges and existing solutions is widespread, diverse, and extensive. In this study, we utilize a systematic literature review accompanied by thematic categorization and gap analysis to examine existing solutions to the challenges. Typology categorization of the challenges facing the development of smart city software, particularly in requirement engineering, and the approach of solutions to these challenges are presented. Our study covers the period from 2009 to 2023. We searched Scopus and Web of Science as the largest databases for reputable academic publications. A total of 80 credible articles were selected and reviewed using predefined criteria for exclusion. Following the review of challenges and solutions, deficiencies and shortcomings are evaluated, and a framework is proposed to facilitate requirement engineering for smart cities with a harmonized approach. This study contributes to the theoretical boundary of software requirement engineering approaches for smart cities and their extraction for operationalization.
