Abstract
Decisions are made at all steps in information systems development (ISO), for example with regard to requirements, architecture, components, project planning, validation etc. (Kotonya and Sommerville 1998; Rube 2003). In the same way the requirements engineering (RE) process can be viewed as a decision-making process (Aurum and Wholin 2003; Regnell et al. 2001).
