Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) has been used widely to guide decision making in multi-attribute selection problems. Few studies have however proposed the use of combinations of MCDA approaches with goal-oriented modeling to rank design alternatives related to business process models. We propose a distance-based approach for models specified with the Goal-oriented Requirement Language (GRL)...
Emerging cyberjustice systems are in need of relevant requirements engineering approaches, for example, to provide citizens with better access to the judicial system. In this context, this paper proposes the use of goal modeling for developing Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) systems in Canada. With ODR, the use of technology has the potential of increasing access to justice at low cost. We argue that...
Requirements are artefacts often described with text and models. It is important to manage traceability between requirements and other software artefacts, including designs and test cases, also often captured with specialized models. Some Requirements Management Systems (RMS) support traceability relationships, between (textual) requirements artefacts in the RMS and model artefacts created outside...
i∗ is a goal-oriented and agent-oriented modeling framework that focuses on the analysis of intentional and strategic relationships among actors. In this mini-tutorial, we highlight a number of recent applications in practical industrial and business settings.
As demonstrated by a benchmark HIPPA case study, the Measured Compliance Profile for the Goal-oriented Requirement Language (GRL) is used to formalize legal text with GRL in order to make it amenable to compliance analysis. This formalization is based on guidelines yielding a goal model that can be analyzed for compliance with the jUCMNav tool with the help of real-world measurements captured by indicators...
Recently, interest in performance modeling of out-come-based regulations has grown in the regulatory community. In this context, performance modeling refers to the measuring of important business aspects in a coordinated manner and the use of these measurements for improved decision making. Goal modeling techniques have shown to be beneficial when expressing and analyzing performance models. Since...
Regulations are a source of evolving requirements for products and organizations. As regulatory institutions shift towards outcome-based regulations, they increasingly adopt legislation performance modeling, at the basis of regulatory intelligence. In this context, performance modeling refers to the measuring of important business aspects in a coordinated manner and the use of these measurements for...
Businesses are always looking for opportunities to improve their processes in order to become more efficient and effective. Patterns for business process improvement have been defined and used as best practices to help analysts discover such opportunities. A modeling language allowing analysts to define or use a predefined library of improvement patterns to detect improvement opportunities in business...
Legal compliance has been an active topic in Software Engineering and Information Systems for many years. However, business analysts and others recently started exploiting Requirements Engineering techniques, and in particular goal-oriented approaches, to model and reason about legal documents in system design and business process management. Many contributions involve extracting legal requirements,...
Compliance with laws and regulations of business processes and software systems is becoming a crucial issue for organizations and calls for suitable methods to deal with it. In contrast to business processes and organizational requirements, regulations are very abstract and hence it is important to refine them until they are at a level of abstraction similar to that of business processes. In this...
In organizations, a gap commonly exists between business goals and business processes. While several approaches provide modeling solutions in each of these two areas, their relationships are often not defined well enough to be used in the software development process. This paper aims to better fill this gap through the introduction of a pattern-based framework that helps construct business processes...
