Enabling AI-supported requirements engineering through model-based systems engineering and characteristics-properties modeling

High-quality requirements are essential for successful product development. This work proposes a model-based requirements engineering framework and AI-supported tool. The framework links design characteristics and measured properties via an OPM-based system model. This enables the implementation of a tool for systematic verification and validation of requirements in early product development stages, supporting the transition from experience- to data-/evidence-driven decision making and industry 4.0 paradigms. A hydraulic-press case-study demonstrates feasibility of the end-to-end workflow.
