Abstract: Formal verification requires system requirements to be specified in formal notations. Formalisation of system requirements manually is a time-consuming and error-prone process, and requires engineers to have strong mathematical and domain expertise. Most existing requirements formalisation techniques assume requirements to be specified in pre-defined templates and these techniques employ pre-defined transformation rules to transform requirements specified in the predefined templates to formal notations. These techniques tend to have limited expressiveness and more importantly require system engineers to re-write their system requirements following these templates. In this paper, we introduces an automated extraction technique (RCM-Extractor) to extract the key constructs of a comprehensive and formalisable semi-formal representation model from textual requirements. We have evaluated our RCM-Extractor on a dataset of 162 requirements curated from the literature. RCM-Extractor achieved 95% precision, 79% recall, 86% F-measure and 75% accuracy. (More)
