This paper presents a new event-oriented Behavioral Pattern Analysis (BPA) modeling approach. In BPA, events are considered the primary objects of the world model. Events are more effective alternatives to use cases in modeling and understanding the functional requirements. The Event defined in BPA is a real-life conceptual entity that is unrelated to any implementation. The BPA Behavioral Patterns are temporally ordered according to the sequence of the real world events. The major contributions of this research are: The Behavioral Pattern Analysis (BPA) modeling approach. Validation of the hypothesis that the Behavioral Pattern Analysis (BPA) modeling approach is a more effective alternative to Use Case Analysis (UCA) in modeling the functional requirements of Human-Machine Safety-Critical Real-time Systems.
Assem proposes an event-oriented requirements definition approach named Behavioral Pattern Analysis Approach (BPA) REF .
