title = "Application of swarm techniques to requirements engineering: Requirements tracing",
abstract = "We posit that swarm intelligence can be applied to effectively address requirements engineering problems. Specifically, this paper demonstrates the applicability of swarm intelligence to the requirements tracing problem using a simple ant colony algorithm. The technique has been validated using two real-world datasets from two problem domains. The technique can generate requirements traceability matrices (RTMs) between textual requirements artifacts (high level requirements traced to low level requirements, for example) with equivalent or better accuracy than traditional information retrieval techniques.",
