Abstract: Cube Tool is a methodology used to derive the processing and communication needs for each system function of a distributed intelligent system. An approach is introduced for extending the applicability of Cube Tool to the determination of requirements for this system: First, using Cube Tool for each function, a Petri net is derived that models all processes and communications for the correct execution of the function; then, these nets are interconnected and the steps of the methodology are applied again to derive the Petri net that represents the requirements for the system.
Keywords: requirements specification (for) distributed intelligent systems; Cube Tool methodology.
