Web Services as Product Experience Augmenters and the Implications for Requirements Engineering: A Position Paper

Overview There is currently little insight into what requirement engineering for web services is and in which context it will be carried out. In this position paper, the authors investigate requirements engineering for a special kind of web services, namely web services that are used to augment the perceived value of a primary service or product that is itself not a web service. The authors relate requirements engineering to common enterprise architecture pattern and derive from this a number of research questions for further study.
