4 - Conclusion |
|
This document gives a list of 55 user requirements for a remote Internet voting system. These requirements were collected by the user partners of the CyberVote consortium. Most all of these requirements (34 out of 55) are common to the 3 user partners involved in the project. The other requirements address specific national issues or sometimes reflect different ways of approaching Internet voting.
These requirements are uniquely identified in order to allow their traceability during the project. The purpose of this numbering is to allow at the end of the project determining which requirements have been addressed in the CyberVote prototype, which requirements have not been addressed and which requirements have been reconsidered by the user partners.
As stated in the introduction of this document, analysing the user requirements is an ongoing process that needs to be refined along the duration of the project. The next step will now be to further investigate these requirements in order to determine their impact on the technical architecture of the system. One of the possible outcome of this investigation could be that some of these requirements are technically incompatible. In that case, further discussions will be conducted with the user partners in order to determine the priorities to be set among these conflicting requirements.
In any case, the user requirements that will have to be addressed by the CyberVote prototype will be formally listed in deliverable "D8 - Report on mock-ups of architecture and overall system architecture". This next report will serve as a reference document for the whole duration of the project.
