The document proposes using software requirement patterns (SRPs) to improve requirements engineering (RE) by enabling reuse of textual requirements. It defines SRPs as templates that generate natural language requirements from parameters. A PAtterns Based RE framework (PABRE) is designed to facilitate SRP use, addressing research questions about SRP structure/semantics, integration into RE processes, and benefits. The approach involves defining SRPs and a catalog, designing and implementing the PABRE system, and validating the framework and assets. Future work includes improving SRP relationships, evolving PABRE assets, and conducting a validation case study.
