An acquisition problem involves the identification, procurement and management of resources that allow an organisation to achieve goals. Examples include through-life capability management (in the defense domain), and planning for the
next release
of a software system. The latter is representative of the challenges of acquisition, as solving the problem involves the assessment of the very many ways in which the different requirements of multiple heterogeneous customers may be satisfied. We present a novel approach to modelling acquisition problems, based on the use of Model-Driven Engineering principles and practices. The approach includes domain-specific modelling languages for acquisition problems, and uses model transformation to automatically generate potential solutions to the acquisition problem. We outline a prototype tool, built using the Epsilon model management framework. We illustrate the approach and tool on an example of the next release acquisition problem.
