Requirements Acquisition and Controlled Evolution

    (RACE) A "back to basics" approach to
   requirements engineering.  The method, is being pieced
   together through a series of intermediate research studies.
   In essence, the approach has been to establish requirements
   for RACE, identify individual techniques that meet those
   requirements, experiment with the combined use of the
   techniques, and finally assemble the method.  In practice,
   RACE has been influenced significantly by Checkland and
   Wilson's Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) and this forms the
   core of the method.
