Augmentative Requirements Engineering for Component Development of Software Services for Persons with Complex Communication Needs

Over the past decade, the interconnected world has witnessed continued growth in the uptake, availability and affordability of information and communication technologies. In order to bridge the gap of digital divide, a multidisciplinary approach is needed to provide means in helping sensitive users, like persons with complex communication needs, learn and utilize the technologies to which they do have access, but fully accepting the health and well-being status of every individual, along with his/her capabilities. Understanding users’ needs becomes even more challengeable when developing ICT solutions for people with disabilities. This research addresses challenges in requirements engineering for component development of software services for persons with complex communication needs. In order to tackle this challenge, we propose new paradigm of requirements engineering for augmentative and alternative communication, that allows holistic view on AAC service requirements concerning users abilities and needs, service domain (such as communication, education, entertainment, healthcare) and associated user supporters (such as rehabilitators, educators, family).
