Abstract
The writing of accurate requirements is a critical factor in assuring the success of a project. Text patterns are knowledge artifacts that are used as templates to guide engineers in the requirements authoring process. However, generating a text pattern set for a particular domain is a time-consuming and costly activity that must be carried out by specialists. This research proposes a method of automatically generating text patterns from an initial corpus of high-quality requirements, using genetic algorithms and a separate-and-conquer strategy to create a complete set of patterns. Our results show this method can generate a valid pattern set suitable for requirements authoring, outperforming existing methods by 233%, with requirements ratio values of 2.87 matched per pattern found; as opposed to 1.23 using alternative methods.

Summary
The emergence of digitalization in the engineering discipline has led to the improvement of the engineering process of safety-critical systems. Model-based Systems Engineering [2] (MBSE) are key technologies to bring digitalization to the Systems Engineering discipline. In this context, the notion of “augmented engineering”. Will be reached once data can semantically link together and exploited through different techniques such as AI/ML to automate some existing, complex and, in many cases, manual tasks, e.g., recovery traceability links between system artifacts [3], generate documentation or check quality (consistency) of the system under development. Requirements Engineering [4] is a traditional engineering method used to specify complex systems. The Requirements Engineering Process comprises several activities to elicit, analyze, specify, verify, and validate requirements at different levels of abstractness (business, user/stakeholder, system, software, telecommunications, system operational concept, etc.)
