Resumo

Introduction: One of the Grand Challenges in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in Brazil (GranDIHC-BR 2025–2035) calls for rethinking HCI in light of advances in Interaction with Emerging Technologies, emphasizing the need to consistently integrate Humans, Technologies, and Contexts. Objective: Our research aims to address this challenge in the domain of Software-Intensive Systems (SiS), with a specific focus on human-centered requirements analysis throughout the development lifecycle. Methodology: The study follows a qualitative and exploratory approach, combining theoretical development with practical investigation. Results: Initially, a systematic literature review was conducted to identify existing approaches to human-centered requirements analysis and best practices in Software-Intensive Systems (SiS). Based on these findings, the TRACE methodology was developed. By the conclusion of the project, the research is expected to contribute to the creation of SiS that are more transparent, responsible, and aligned with users’ needs and capabilities.
