1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose of the requirements document

The SRS is a document describing the software system of our DashBoard project for OAR. It describes how the system is supposed to work with functional and non functional requirements.

1.2 Scope of the product

The “Service d’Accueil Handicap” (Disabled Welcoming Service) located in Saint-Martin d’Hères allows more than 900 residents each year to benefit from personal advices and support services for disabled students.

Due to a strong affluence and limited space, a need for automation has been felt by the SAH’s team.

The ChatBot project aims to provide a solution to this problem.

1.3 Definitions, acronyms and abbreviations

A ChatBot is a conversation program which conducts a conversation via auditory or textual methods.

2. General description

2.1 Product perspective

Getting involved in other institutions linked to the health sector.

Building a system capable of recognizing vocal phrases for visually impaired individuals.

2.2 Product functions

Providing an answer adapted to the requests of a disabled user thanks to an automaton.

It should be able to lead a discussion in a logical and consistent way from the beginning to the end of it, which means its interactions have to be as close as possible from the ones a real human would have.

It also needs to collect some important informations about the user it’s discussing with.

This conversation will take place on a web/mobile app.

2.3 User characteristics

Disabled students (essentially deaf and dumb individuals) living in Grenoble and studying in the Grenoble-Alpes University.

2.4 General constraints

Disablement of users. Web hosting, database and user files.

3.Specific requirements, covering functional, non-functional and interface requirements

• document external interfaces,
• describe system functionality and performance
• specify logical database requirements,
• design constraints,
• emergent system properties and quality characteristics.
