Experts in requirements elicitation have interviews to
stakeholders using various levels of knowledge to grasp
and elicit user's requirements. This paper analyzes
interview processes of these experts and explores a
computation model for simulating them. This model can
be used to navigate novice analysts' interview processes.
It is a mixture consisting of a blackboard model and a
state transition model in order to narrow the candidates
for the questions that an expert analyst will ask the
stakeholders next in the interview process. The candidates
are selected based on the information that has been
elicited from the stakeholders until now, and the
blackboard model is for holding this information in the
form of IEEE 830, a standard form of requirements
specification documents. We have analyzed the experts'
interview processes and constructed the instance of the
computation model in sales management domain. And we
recorded novices' processes, simulated it on the novices'
ones, and showed that we could improve them by means of
the model.
