Abstract

This paper reviews the relevance of requirements determination in the commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) enterprise software era. State-of-the-art requirements determination methods must contain, facilities for allowing semantic verification. We will introduce a conceptual modelling approach that fulfills this requirement and that can be used in the process of ERP configuration and requirements determination in general. The fact-based conceptual modelling approach that we will use in this paper is CogNIAM.
