Requirement Patterns to Support Socio-Technical System Design

The rise of socio-technical ubiquitous systems integrated into peoples' lives call for the consideration of requirements originating from different domains during requirements engineering. Important aspects are fostering the systems legal compatibility, its usability and users' trust, and hence their acceptance of, the system. To spare requirements analysts from incorporating different experts or interpreting socio-technical literature, we provide a pattern-based approach for the collection of socio-technical requirements. In this chapter we show how requirements analysts can use requirement patterns within the socio-technical system development to consider normative requirements. Therefore, we show a process, and provide advantages and explore under which circumstances requirement patterns can help.
