=======================
iStar'11 SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS EXTENDED TO JUNE 10th, 2011
Fifth International i* Workshop (iStar'11) Trento, Italy, 29-30
August,
2011
http://www.cin.ufpe.br/~istar11/
Co-located with the 19th IEEE International Requirements Engineering
Conference (RE’11)
A growing number of groups around the world have been using the i*
modellingframework 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) and Hammamet (2010), it is time for another meeting
focusing
on i*, Tropos, and related frameworks, where researchers can
exchange
ideas, compare notes, and hopefully forge new collaboration with
like-minded folk.
We are organizing the Fifth International i* Workshop, and cordially
invite
you and members of your group to join us. The 2-day workshop will be
held in Trento, Italy, 29-30 August, 2011, as a co-located event
with the 19th IEEE
International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE’11). This
year, the
workshop is including a Tools Fair, see description at the end of
this
message.
This research workshop complements the iStar Showcase’11 event being
organized for 21 June, 2011 in London UK, aimed at promoting
industry
awareness and adoption. You may find timely information about this
event
at http://istar.rwth-aachen.de/tiki-view_articles.php
and
http://www.city.ac.uk/informatics/school-organisation/centre-for-human-computer-interaction-design/istar11.
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,
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html,
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 should be uploaded to easychair
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=istar11
All submissions will be peer-reviewed and accepted works will be
published
in the CEUR Workshop Proceedings Series,
http://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/Publications/CEUR-WS/.

i* Workshop TOOLS FAIR: Call for Submissions
Many tools have been created to facilitate modeling and analysis
with i*
and related frameworks. As part of the 5th International i* Workshop
(iStar’11)
we are organizing a Tools Fair to update community knowledge about
the
current offerings of i* modeling and reasoning tools.
FORMAT
The i* Workshop will include a session for tool demos. The session
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.
TOOL SUBMISSIONS
Fill out a form providing information about your tool by creating a
wiki
page on the i* wiki:
http://istar.rwth-aachen.de/tiki-index.php?page=i*+Tools.
If a page on the
wiki already exists for your tool, please update it as appropriate.
Contact
jenhork@cs.utoronto.ca if you require a new
user name and password for the
wiki. The consolidation of these forms will be used to update our
online
comparison of i* Tools
(http://istar.rwth-aachen.de/tiki-index.php?page=Comparing+the+i*+Tools)
Prepare a three page description of the tool, using LNCS format
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
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)
All descriptions should be uploaded to easychair
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=istar11
The Tools Fair proceedings will be peer-reviewed and published in
the CEUR
Workshop Proceedings Series,
http://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/Publications/CEUR-WS/,
as part of
the iStar workshop proceedings
