As product service systems (PSS) have specific characteristics, they impose special requirements on requirements engineering (RE) that are initially explained by means of nine criteria. Based on that, main approaches of RE in product, software, and service engineering as well as integrated approaches are evaluated in terms of their suitability for PSS. The result shows different maturity levels of RE in all domains, being highest in product and software engineering. However, we must note a major deficit in the overall cooperation due to the individual concepts of the respective domains. A direct transfer to other areas, as needed for PSS, is not possible.     «
