Cyber-physical systems are a new discipline of research that involves electrical engineering, electronics, computer science, control and communications interacting with physical processes. This leads to a co-managed domain where both worlds (cyber and physical) must be taken into account to decide the actions to take. Thus, a fundamental aspect in the development for cyber-physical systems is the understanding of the problem, the environment and the entities involved. In this respect, this paper presents a requirement analysis method specially designed for small cyber-physicalsystems. The method extends the well-known use case approach by including constructs to handlespecific concerns of this kind of systems.
