Developing a large, but smart environment is a complex task that requires the
collaboration of experts of different disciplines. How to successfully attain
such collaboration is not a trivial matter. The paper illustrates the problem
with a case study where the manager of the facility intends to influence
pedestrians so that they choose a task that requires certain effort, e.g.
using staircases, instead of the current one that requires less effort, e.g.
using the elevator. Defining requirements for such scenarios requires a
strong multidisciplinary collaboration which is not currently well supported.
This paper contributes with an approach to provide non-technician experts
with tools so that they can provide feedback on the requirements and verify
them in a systematic way.
