Requirements conflicts analysis is one of most crucial activities in successful software engineering projects. Activity diagrams are a useful standard for modeling process behaviors of systems. This paper utilizes ontological approach to analyze conflicts in the requirement specifications of activity diagrams. The proposed conflicts analysis method includes a modeling process and a set of conflicts detection rules. Several scenarios of electronic commerce are also provided for demonstrating the validity of the proposed rules. The benefits of the proposed method are threefold: (1) The method provides systematic steps for modeling requirements and ontologies. (2) This method also offers a set of questions for facilitating requirements elicitation about activity diagrams. (3) The proposed rules can systematically assist in requirements conflicts detection.
