Abstract:
While many academics are still conducting valuable research on requirements specifications, practitioners choose how to represent their requirements, depending on the context, from a variety of possible artifacts. In many cases, traditional specification documents are deemed as unsuitable. In this talk, I will introduce ongoing research regarding requirements artifacts that go beyond specifications, focusing on communication media such as oral conversations and issue tracking systems. I will argue that these informal, ad-hoc representations of requirements are an opportunity for the application of modern AI, both for researchers and practitioners, thanks to the unprecedented ability of LLMs to process unstructured and multi-modal representations of requirements.

Title: "Prompting the Future: Integrating Generative LLMs and Requirements Engineering"
Abstract:
Generative LLMs, such as GPT, have revolutionized our interaction with artificial intelligence. Their ability to understand, generate, and manipulate language presents unprecedented opportunities and challenges across various disciplines, including RE. Generative LLMs have the potential to redefine the landscape of requirements elicitation, specification, and validation. The talk is structured into two primary segments. The first part delves into the application of generative LLMs in automating RE tasks. It explores how these models can assist in accurately capturing and specifying requirements, generating requirement documents, and automating the verification of requirements consistency and completeness. By examining examples and current research, this part will highlight the transformative potential of generative LLMs in enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and comprehensiveness in RE. The second part positions RE as a critical discipline for developing well-crafted prompts essential for interacting with generative LLMs. It underscores the importance of precise, unambiguous, and comprehensive requirements in formulating prompts that elicit accurate and relevant responses from the models. This part will also discuss the art and science of crafting effective prompts, drawing parallels between requirements specification techniques and prompt engineering strategies.
