Prioritization of non-functional requirements in a mobile application for panic button system using neutrosophic decision maps

Abstract

 Several countries around the world have implemented systems to preserve public safety. Taking advantage of
technological advances that are available to all citizens, in Ecuador it has been implemented a system called panic button, which
consists of a cell phone network with geo-location, which can assist every citizen who needs to ask for help and the authorities
will respond efficiently. This research proposes to improve this system in order to increase its efficiency and effectiveness. This
requires the use of prioritization of non-functional requirements. In this paper we use the static analysis of Neutrosophic
Cognitive Maps to determine, evaluate, and compare non-functional requirements. Neutrosophic Cognitive Maps allow
establishing causal relationships among different criteria, with the objective of determining an order of preference. In this
investigation we have three experts who provided the evaluations.
