  Software Release Planning (SRP) is to find, for the software, a subset of the
requirements with the highest value while respecting the budget. The value of a
requirement however may, to various degrees, depend on selecting or ignoring
other requirements. However, existing SRP models ignore either Value-Related
Dependencies altogether or the strengths of those dependencies even if they
consider them. This paper presents an Integer Programming model for software
release planning, which considers the variances of strengths of positive and
negative value-related dependencies among software requirements. To capture the
imprecision associated with strengths of value-related dependencies we have
made use of the algebraic structure of fuzzy graphs. We have further,
contributed a scalable technique for automated identification of value-related
dependencies based on user preferences for software requirements. The validity
of the work is verified through simulations.
