CALL FOR PAPERS: Sixth International i* Workshop (iStar'13)
Valencia, Spain, 17-21 June, 2013
Co-located with the 25th International Conference on Advanced
Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE'13).
A growing number of groups around the world have been using
the i* modelling framework in their research on early
requirements engineering, business process design, organization
modelling, software development methodologies, and more.
Following successful workshops in Trento (2002), London (2005),
Recife (2008), Hammamet (2010), and Trento (2011) it is time for
another meeting focusing on i*, GRL, Tropos, and related
frameworks, to exchange ideas, compare notes, and forge new
collaborations.
We cordially invite you and members of your group to join us
at the Sixth International i* Workshop. The 2-day workshop will
be held in Valencia, Spain, 17-21 June, 2013, as a co-located
event with the 25th International Conference on Advanced
Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE'13). Following a
successful Tools Fair in iStar'11, we will be accepting papers
and demos concerning iStar-related tools.
FORMAT
The objective of the workshop is to share knowledge,
stimulate discussion and foster new lines of research and
collaboration among different groups.
To support these goals, we will schedule as much time for
discussion as for presentations - the actual time will depend on
the final number of accepted papers. For every accepted paper,
we will assign one discussant that will provide an initial
position about the paper once presented, and then discussion
will follow. If the schedule allows, we plan to include further
occasions for discussion in the program, in addition to the
customary wrap-up session.
The program will also include a keynote talk.
PAPER SUBMISSIONS
Contributions should be 4-6 pages in LNCS format, describing
current and ongoing research related the i* framework. The
contribution shall adhere to the following structure:
- Title, authors, abstract
- Section 1. Introduction.
- Section 2. Objectives of the research.
- Section 3. Scientific contributions. If you have tool
support, please mention and describe it explicitly
- Section 4. Conclusions. Of particular interest are any
assessments of i* and related frameworks, including industrial
experiences
- Section 5. Ongoing and future work
- References. Please restrict references to mainly your own
work.
All submissions will be peer-reviewed and accepted works will
be published in the CEUR Workshop Proceedings Series.
TOOL SUBMISSIONS
The i* Workshop will include a slot for tool demos. The demos
will consist of a two-minute presentation of two slides
(automatic transition from one slide to the next will be
enforced) and then the floor will be opened for demos.
Prepare a three page description of the tool, using LNCS
format. Descriptions should include a screen shot of the tool
and should cover the following points:
- Tool name and version
- Download information/availability
- Web page and documentation
- Goal modeling framework supported
- Main purpose of the tool
- Primary features
- Status and maturity
- Limitations and future plans
- Interoperability with other tools
- Use in industrial case studies (if applicable)
The tool submissions will be peer-reviewed and published in
the CEUR Workshop Proceedings Series, as part of the iStar
workshop proceedings.
