摘　　要：Compared with traditional software applications, the requirements problem of Internetware appli- cations exhibits a set of new characteristics that cannot be resolved by traditional engineer-centered face-to-face requirements methods. In this paper, we present an exploratory approach to the requirements elicitation and evolution problem of Internetware applications, based on the concept of web-enable collective intelligence, to ac- commodate the situation of large-scale user communities of Internetware applications with diverse and constantly evolving requirements. In particular, we propose a feature-oriented stigmergy-based collaborative requirements modeling method that combines feature-oriented requirements modeling with web-enabled stigmergy-based col- laboration to support large-scale collaborative requirements eliciting and evolving activities for Internetware applications. Two experiments are introduced to show the feasibility and effectiveness of this approach.Compared with traditional software applications, the requirements problem of Internetware appli- cations exhibits a set of new characteristics that cannot be resolved by traditional engineer-centered face-to-face requirements methods.
