At Leibniz Universit\u00e4t Hannover and at  two partner universities in Germany, it stands for a system of IT subsystems, components, and humans interacting. The characteristics of the IT ecosystems are not only defined by the features of its components, but also by their combination and interactions. Like a new animal in a natural ecosystem, a new element can disturb an existing equilibrium. When subsystems are developed independently, and when they act semi-autonomously, emergent behaviour can occur. Users will have to deal with such phenomena.<\/p>\n<p>For a supplier of IT systems, requirements engineering is never easy. However, in an IT ecosystem it becomes even more difficult. Traditional approaches like interviews and use cases scratch only the surface of user requirements and expectations. Intended users can hardly foresee future interactions, events, and whether they will like them. For that purpose, we followed two approaches to solicit useful requirements from IT ecosystems: (1) Explicit and spontaneous feedback is facilitated; and (2) unexptected behaviour of human users is observed as an implicit expression of an unidentified change request. In this talk, selected applications of those approaches are described. In the outlook, new potentials for empowering human users are sketched, and potential for future work is outlined.<\/p>\n<p>Best regards,<br \/>\nHelena<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear all, Most welcome to the next research seminar which will be held Friday, March 21.
