However, due to the complex nature of smart city projects, requirements engineering plays a crucial role in providing a structured method to gather, analyze, and manage the needs of various stakeholders.

However, it’s important to note that most of the current requirements engineering (RE) theories originate from the Global North. Given the significant socio-cultural differences between the Global North and the Global South, it is essential to investigate the existing policies regarding requirements engineering in smart city projects in both regions. This will help to understand how these techniques are adapted or need to be tailored to suit the unique contexts of each region. This study aims to explore the government’s perspective on requirements engineering in the Global South compared to those in high-ranked smart cities from the Global North. Considering the diverse cultural backgrounds in the Global South countries, we select Southeast Asia cities in the 2024 IMD Smart Cities Index as case studies. We conducted comprehensive reviews of government policy documents and smart city websites from 23 cities in 20 countries; 15 cities from the Global North and 8 cities from Southeast Asia. The policy documents and official websites were selected to represent the official government stance on requirements engineering.

In the field of Information Systems and Software Engineering,
taxonomies are widely employed to organize and present well-designed
knowledge. They play a crucial role in identifying relevant dimensions
and characteristics associated with the objects under study. This paper
focuses specifically on revenue models for platform business models,
which facilitate the connection between providers and consumers
in two-sided markets. For example, the Vinted Marketplace charges a
transaction-based fee of 5% for each item sold, while nebenan.de offers

abstract = {Networked service value constellations, consisting of enterprises and customers working together to jointly provide a commercial service, can be analysed from different modeling perspectives. Two of such perspectives are (1) the value perspective and (2) the process perspective. Value models, describing the value perspective, indicate which economically valuable service outcomes are exchanged between the involved actors. However, a value model only shows what is exchanged of economic value, but not how this should be accomplished. Therefore, to understand a service well, a process model has to be designed also, which shows the actual tasks to be performed by these actors as well as the time ordering of these tasks. A key problem is then how to
construct such a process model, given an earlier designed value model. As the process model should put the value model into operation, there exists a clear relationship between both models. Previous work investigated this problem to a certain extent, but a well integrated, and easy to use method is currently lacking. This paper proposes a step-wise method to design a process model for networked value constellations, given an earlier developed value model. The aim of this method is to support practitioners during the design of a process model; as a result, the proposed way of working should tractable, well teachable, and easy to use, thereby following the same philosophy as with the e3value methodology, which we use to model value perspective of networked value constellations. In addition to the step-wise method itself, the value of this paper is also in the use of the method to explore services related to Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) clearing.},

Two of such perspectives are (1) the value perspective and (2) the process perspective. Value models, describing the value perspective, indicate which economically valuable service outcomes are exchanged between the involved actors. However, a value model only shows what is exchanged of economic value, but not how this should be accomplished. Therefore, to understand a service well, a process model has to be designed also, which shows the actual tasks to be performed by these actors as well as the time ordering of these tasks. A key problem is then how to
construct such a process model, given an earlier designed value model. As the process model should put the value model into operation, there exists a clear relationship between both models. Previous work investigated this problem to a certain extent, but a well integrated, and easy to use method is currently lacking. This paper proposes a step-wise method to design a process model for networked value constellations, given an earlier developed value model. The aim of this method is to support practitioners during the design of a process model; as a result, the proposed way of working should tractable, well teachable, and easy to use, thereby following the same philosophy as with the e3value methodology, which we use to model value perspective of networked value constellations. In addition to the step-wise method itself, the value of this paper is also in the use of the method to explore services related to Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) clearing.

Examples include well-known services such as Internet access, an email box, VoIP, or web-page hosting, or more advanced services such as residential gateway management and content provisioning services. Typically, to satisfy a consumer need, a bundle of elementary services is required. In such a bundle, each elementary service can be offered by a different supplier. A key problem is then how to actually find service-bundles that satify consumer needs as close as possible. Because IT-service bundles can be automatically provisioned online immediately after ordering, finding a service bundle satisfying a need should preferably also happen automatically. To this end, we propose the e3service ontology, which offers constructs from service marketing, but in a computational way, such that automated reasoning support can be developed to match consumer needs with available IT services in the market. This paper presents the e3service ontology and explains it by a case study in the telecom industry.},

Typically, to satisfy a consumer need, a bundle of elementary services is required. In such a bundle, each elementary service can be offered by a different supplier. A key problem is then how to actually find service-bundles that satify consumer needs as close as possible. Because IT-service bundles can be automatically provisioned online immediately after ordering, finding a service bundle satisfying a need should preferably also happen automatically. To this end, we propose the e3service ontology, which offers constructs from service marketing, but in a computational way, such that automated reasoning support can be developed to match consumer needs with available IT services in the market. This paper presents the e3service ontology and explains it by a case study in the telecom industry.

abstract = {Current e-business technology enables the execution of in-
creasingly complex coordination processes that link IT ervices of different companies. Successful design of cross-organizational coordination processes requires the mutual alignment of the coordination process with
a commercial business case. There is however a large conceptual gap between a commercial business case and a coordination process. The business case is stated in terms of commercial transactions, but the coordination process consists of sequences, choices and iterations of actions

To represent the context and solution, we analyze a network organization as a set of actors who transfer objects of economic value. The usefulness and adequacy of the control patterns is demonstrated by a case study of the governance and control mechanisms of the Dutch public health insurance network for exceptional medical expenses (AWBZ).
