We believe that the next ten years of URN
development will be even more active than the first ten
and will focus on the major topics identified in Section
VI, including domain-specific profiles, enhanced
workflow executions, performance and compliance
management, formal semantics, improved analysis
techniques and model representations, and guidelines and
methodologies.
We hope this survey paper represents a useful one-stop
document for URN beginners and experts alike. We also
take the opportunity to invite users and other interested
parties to get actively involved in future developments of
the User Requirements Notation.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The authors wish to thank the many people who have
contributed to the success of the User Requirements
Notation over the years, with special thanks to C.M.
Woodside and T. Gray for comments on an earlier draft
of this paper. This work was supported in part by the
Discovery grants and Postgraduate Scholarships
programs from NSERC (Canada) and by the Ontario
Graduate Scholarship Program.
