Research on the WRSPM reference model for the development of system requirements

This paper proposes a WRSPM reference model that defines the software environment (World), hardware requirements, software requirements, non-vendor software requirements, i.e. an IBM system requires a Microsoft product, software specifications, software programming environment and the hardware (Machine) environment that crosses system boundaries defining those machines on which the system will be deployed. This development model is based on related systems that will be integrated into a single system. This model defines the relations between the nodes of the reference model, and provides a formal description of the reference model. Finally, it compares the WRSPM reference model with the Functional Documentation Model (FDM), and analyzes the characteristics of the reference model to provide insight regarding when the model is most appropriate.
