Abstract
The Next Release Problem consists in selecting which requirements will be implemented in the next software release. For many SBSE approaches to the NRP, there is still a lack of ability to efficiently include the human opinion and its peculiarities in the search process. Most of these difficulties are due to the problem of the human fatigue. Thus, it is proposed the use of a machine learning technique to model the user and replace him in an Interactive Genetic Algorithm to the NRP. Intermediate results are able to show that an IGA can succesfully incorporate the user preferences in the final solution.
