Use Case Maps as a Feature Description Notation.

D. Amyot

Abstract

Use Case Maps (UCMs) are proposed as a notation for describing features.
UCMs capture functional requirements in terms of causal scenarios bound to
underlying abstract components. This particular view proved very useful
in the description of a wide range of reactive and telecommunications
systems. This paper presents some of the most interesting constructs and
benefits of the notation in relation to a question on a User Requirements
Notation recently approved by ITU-T Study Group 10, which will lead to
a new Recommendation by 2003. Tool support, current research on UCMs,
and related notations are also discussed.
