Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The dominant decomposition at the requirements level relies on how requirements are represented and modeled. An aspectual requirement is a broadly scoped concern that cuts across and has impacts on other requirements-level concerns or artifacts. This paper presents a novel use of Repertory Grid Technique with roots in psychology of personal constructs as a systematic and effective way to support analysts for viewing and manipulating requirements models to expose how entities relate to one another, thereby facilitating aspectual requirements identification and conflicts detection. We illustrate the approach with a proof-of-concept example adapted from the literature; in particular, we show how early aspects can be discovered in goal models, and how interference can be detected in viewpoints-based models.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
