Abstract: Software is developed on the basis of requirements specification
that described user's requirements. Since the software to be developed
also contains some errors when the specification includes some errors and
omissions of user's requirements, the work to remove software errors brings the
process delay and large cost. Therefore, it is required to elicit user's
software requirements without any omissions, to analyze the elicited
requirements correctly, and to describe the specification. However, even if a
worker is a experienced SE, it is not easy to perform these works correctly and
efficiently. It is required to develop the technology to support requirements
elicitation process. The authors regard software requirements elicitation
technology as an interview technique, and propose a system to guide the SE's
interview-driven requirements elicitation work. This paper describes a method
to implement the system to guide software requirements elicitation work using
some domain-specific rules based on the transition pattern of topics.
