Abstract
Model Driven Engineering (MDE) holds the promise of raising the level of abstraction when designing systems by promoting domain specific modeling languages, model transformation techniques and code generation engines. Although requirements engineering (RE) relies on models and on modeling, RE and MDE have evolved separately and in distinct communities. The goal of our ongoing work is to analyze the state of the art regarding the convergence and evolution of MDE and RE. This paper is a preliminary study in which we review all papers published at MoDRE workshops and map them according to three perspectives: research issue, research contribution and evaluation method. Our analysis indicates clear predominance of proposals of new language for requirement representation and the derivation of system specifications. Other facets such as requirements elicitation and requirements validation methods are much less tackled, and traceability is seldom discussed.
