Functional and Non-Functional Requirements

(We will need to combine our brainstorming information in a clear and concise way into these functional and non-functional lists below)
(We need to refine the list below as well as the requirements we add from our brainstorming)
(We need to think of everything...)

Functional Requirements

(NOTE: Functional Requirements will begin with FR#:, these will need to be refined, broken down, and more added.)

• FR1: The SDMS system shall allow user(s) to login.
• FR2: The SDMS system shall maintain user information security.
• FR3: The SDMS system shall maintain a user date exclusion set, those dates each user cannot attend a meeting.
• FR4: The SDMS system shall maintain a user date preference set, those dated each user prefers to attend a meeting.
• FR5: The SDMS system shall allow monitoring of the system.
• FR6: The SDMS system shall plan meetings under the constraints expressed by participants (see domain theory).
• FR7: The SDMS system shall allow replanning of meeting in support of changinf user constraints (modification of exclusion set, preference set and/or preferred location before a meeting date/location is proposed, take into account constrainsts after a meeting date/location has been proposed.) Need bounds on replanning.
• FR9: The SDMS system shall support conflict resolution (according to conflict resolution policies stated by client.
• FR10: The SDMS system shall allow the management of all interactions among participants required during the organization of the meeting:
• * FR10.1: to communicate requests
• * FR10.2: to get replies even from participants not reacting promptly
• * FR10.3: to support the negotiation and conflict resolution processes
• * FR10.4: to make participants aware of what's going on during the planning process
• * FR10.5: to keep participants informed about schedules and their changes
• * FR10.6: to make them confident about the reliability of the communications

Complements:
FR11: The SDMS system shall allow cancelling the meeting
FR12: The SDMS system shall allow managing the info of all users such as passwords, email address and so forth
FR13: The SDMS system shall do something if some meetings are over(makie end marks, store the whole meeting info or delete it ,or whatever)

Non-Functional Requirements

(NOTE: Non-Functional Requirements will begin with NFR#:, these will need to be refined, broken down, and more added)

• NFR1: The SDMS system shall be functionally intuitive
• NFR2: The SDMS system shall be easily used by non-experts
• NFR3: The SDMS system shall be accurately monitored (IE: held in virtual place, nomadicity)
• NFR4: The SDMS system shall replan a meeting as dynamically and flexible as possible
• NFR5: The SDMS system shall keep the amount of interaction among participants as minimal as possible (number and length of messages)
• NFR6: The SDMS system shall considerably reduce the amount of overhead usually incurred in meeting organization (potential distributed attendees)
• NFR7: The SDMS system shall reflect, as closely as possible, the way meetings re typically managed
• NFR9: The SDMS system shall alert attendees as conviently and early as possible of the date and location of the meeting
• NFR10: The SDMS system shall accomodate decentralized requests as far as possible (any authorized user can request a meeting independently of their whereabouts)
• NFR11: The SDMS system shall not allow physical constraints to be broken, (a person cannot attend two or more different meetings at the same time, a meeting room cannot be scheduled for two or meetings at the same time, etc)
• NFR12: The SDMS system shall provide an appropriate level of performance
• * NFR12.1: elapsed time between submission of a meeting request and determination of corresponding date/location shall be minimal
• * NFR12.2: elapsed time between determination of meeting date/location and communication of meeting information to all participants shall be minimal
• * NFR12.3: a lower bound shall be fixed between the time at which the meeting date is determined and the time at which the meeting is actually taking place
• NFR13: The SDMS system shall enforce all privacy rules
• * NFR13.1: non-priviledged particiapnts shall not be allowed to know the constraints stated by other participants
• NFR14: The SDMS system shall allow customization to professional and private meetings
• * NFR14.1: different restrictions on the time periods that may be allocated (meeting hours during office hours, private activites during leisure time)
• NFR15: The SDMS system shall be flexible enough to accomodate evolving data
• * NFR15.1: varying sets of concerned participants
• * NFR15.2: address to which participant may be reached may vary
• NFR16: The SDMS system shall be easily extensible
• * NFR16.1: handling of explicit priorities among dates in preference sets
• * NFR16.2: handling of explicit dependencies between meeting date and meeting location
• * NFR16.3: participation through delegation - a participant may ask another person to represent him/her at the meeting
• * NFR16.4: variations in the date formats, address formats, interface language, etc
• * NFR16.5: partial re-use in other contexts (to help establish course schedule)
