Abstract
Requirements negotiation is a complex process which involves many stakeholders to make consistent decisions on a software system's requirements. Stakeholders need a tool to refine the requirements rapidly and efficiently. TWikiWinWin is the newest requirements negotiation system which supports WinWin theory. However, in this system Shaper is the key role to integrate and distill contents of others, so Shaper's low efficiency may result in delay of the whole negotiation process. To improve negotiation efficiency, we develop JSPWikiWinWin and evaluate its performance in a case study. The results show that JSPWikiWinWin system can alleviate stakeholders' work load and improve Shaper's efficiency.

Recommendations
Supporting Distributed Collaborative Prioritization
APSEC '99: Proceedings of the Sixth Asia Pacific Software Engineering ConferenceSoftware developers are seldom able to implement stakeholders' requirements fully when time and resources are limited. To solve the problem, requirement engineers together with the stakeholders must prioritize requirements. The problem is exacerbated ...
From requirements negotiation to software architecture decisions
Architecture design and requirements negotiations are conceptually tightly related but often performed separately in real-world software development projects. As our prior case studies have revealed, this separation causes uncertainty in requirements ...
