Abstract
The methodologies of product-line engineering emphasize proactive reuse to construct high-quality, less costly products. The requirements for a product line are written for the group of systems as a whole, with requirements for individual systems specified by a delta or an increment to the generic set [1]. Therefore, it is necessary to identify and explicitly denote the regions of commonality and points of variation at the requirement level. In this paper, we suggest a method for producing requirements that will be a core asset in the product line. Briefly, requirements for families of similar systems (i.e. domain) are collected and generalized which are then analyzed and modeled. The domain requirement as a core asset explicitly manages the commonality and variability. Through this method, the reuse of domain requirements can be enhanced.
