Customer requirement management has been well recognized as one of
the principal factors in product development for achieving success in
the marketplace. It has been witnessed an exponentially increasing
number of consensus and publications in the field of customer
satisfaction and requirement management, as well as many endeavors in
industrial applications. This research topic bears a
multidisciplinary characteristic involving such fields as business
studies, marketing research, psychological studies, human factors,
software requirement engineering, and of course engineering design.
More recently, the importance of these front-end issues has been
catalyzed by enormous e-commerce applications. This special issue is
dedicated to recent advances in customer requirement management.
While requirement engineering has been studied intensively in the
field of software and information systems, the focus of this special
issue is given to product development and engineering design of
consumer and industrial products. Original papers of both a
theoretical and practical nature are welcome, as well as
state-of-the-art reviews and discussions of future research
directions in the field. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
User needs analysis and functional design
Affective design and human-centered design
Kansei engineering and Kansei science
Product positioning and product line/portfolio planning
Customer preference and customer value assessment
Customer decision-making and choice models
Customer behavior and interaction with product attributes
Mass customization and personalization
Customer involvement and product definition
Customer needs elicitation and requirements acquisition
Product proliferation and variety management
Customer requirement lifecycle management
Requirement modeling, language and supporting tools
New strategies, business models, enabling technologies (e.g.,
e-commerce, AI, OR, etc.), case studies and industrial best practices.
