Uncertainty and Dependency-wise Requirements Prioritization

With the increase of complexity in software systems, optimizing the requirements management has become an important task in Software Engineering. The selection and prioritization of software requirements among plenty of requirements for each release of a software is a common problem. Several methods have been introduced to solve this common problem. Literature shows that the majority of existing requirement prioritization (RP) approaches ignore fundamental factors such as uncertainty in cost and interdependency between requirements. The objective of this paper is to present an approach to solve the RP problem that considers, with other commonly utilized factors, uncertainty and interdependences between requirements.
