  text: "Real-time software-intensive embedded systems complexity, as in the automotive
    domain, requires rigorous Requirements Engineering (RE) approaches. Scenario-based
    RE formalisms like Modal Sequence Diagrams (MSDs) enable an intuitive specication
    and the simulative validation of functional requirements. However, the dependencies
    between events occurring in different MSD scenarios are implicit so that it is
    difficult to find causes of requirements defects, if any. The automotive architecture
    description language EAST-ADL addresses this problem by relying on event chains,
    which make dependencies between events explicit. However, EAST-ADL event chains
    have a low abstraction level, and their relationship to functional requirements
    has seldom been investigated. Based on the EAST-ADL functional architecture, we
    propose to use its central notion of event to conciliate both approaches. We conceived
    an automatic transformation from the high abstraction level requirements specified
    in MSDs to the low abstraction level event chains.\r\n"
