CS 775 – Requirements Engineering

Project 1

 

The conservation department of you museum will begin creating a conservation strategy for digital artwork. The general requirements are to document the artworks attributes and track them over time so that their technological needs can be met for future installations. As part of this requirements process you must design a comprehensive questionnaire that will thoroughly document the artwork. This questionnaire will be converted into a collection of database entries that will help track of each component over time and provide a risk assessment as to the supportability of each component. For example, say the artwork uses a special piece of hardware that may no longer exit in the future; what are the risks and how may they be mitigated.
