SYSE.19:11 - SoTA and Source Use

When a relied-on source changes, identify which claims, MethodDescriptions, decisions and uses may need revision. Keep source content and edition change, the Agents using it, performed Work and evidence separately recoverable. Revalidate the affected applicability and use under the current FPF distinctions.

Source lineRetained contributionUse boundary
Current FPF C.2.1, A.10, E.15, and G.11Episteme and edition identity, claim-bound evidence, affected-use inspection, and bounded refresh.E.15 governs FPF pattern editions; this DPF supplies the engineering source-use specialization.
Wu et al. 2025One landing-gear case demonstrates tool support for heterogeneous model semantics, conflict handling, traceability, and versioning.Use the case for candidate impact discovery; establish reliance, configuration change, and release authority separately.
Hernández, Moros, and Nicolás 2023A multivocal mapping reports requirements Work continuing through DevOps with changing descriptions and monitoring.The software-heavy review supports this recurring source-change problem, not a universal requirement or revalidation Method.
Norheim et al. 2024Analysis of LLM use in requirements Work exposes source, consistency, verification, and cyber-physical limits.Use generated summaries for candidate discovery; ground engineering evidence and decisions separately.
Kosenkov et al. 2025Regulatory-compliance research connects legal interpretation, engineering descriptions, evidence, and change Work.The mapping study supplies candidate relations; the applicable legal interpretation and permission need their own authority.
Bantwal and Fatahi Valilai 2026A brake-caliper case exposes change propagation across physical parts, descriptions, supply constraints, engineering tools, and validation.Use its links as candidate affected reach; inspect actual reliance before reopening a decision.

Currentness claims carry an epistemic status. Signals such as academic attention, institutional promotion, a supplier’s latest label, or public reporting are evidence about communication. Use direct observations or qualified expert estimates for enacted engineering practice, prevalence, and effectiveness.
