Dear colleagues,

Due to numerous requests, it was decided to extend RIGiM'08 submission deadline, until May 18th.

Please find underneath the Call for Paper for the 2d International Workshop on Requirements, Intentions and Goals in Conceptual Modeling.

We hope to meet you in Barcelona. Best regards,

CALL FOR PAPERS

First International Workshop on Requirements, Intentions and Goals in Conceptual Modeling

in conjunction with ER 2008 October 20� 23, 2008, Barcelona, Spain

Papers submission deadline: May 18, 2008 http://mis.sauder.ubc.ca/rigim2008/

Organizers: Colette Rolland, Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, France Carson Woo, University of British Columbia, Canada Camille Salinesi, Université Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne, France

SCOPE AND TOPICS:

The use of intentional concepts, the notion of "goal" in particular, has been prominent in recent approaches to requirement engineering (RE). Goal-oriented frameworks and methods for requirements engineering (GORE) have been keynote topics at requirements engineering conferences, and at major software engineering conferences. What are the conceptual modeling foundations in these approaches?

Traditionally information system engineering has made the assumption that an information system captures some excerpt of world history and hence has concentrated on modeling information about the Universe of Discourse. This is done through conceptual modeling that aims at abstracting the specification of the required information system, i.e., the conceptual schema, from an analysis of the relevant aspects of the Universe of Discourse about which the user community needs information. This specification concentrates on what the system should do, that is, on its functionality, serving as a prescription for system construction.

Whereas conceptual modeling allowed system developers to understand the semantic of information and led to a large number of semantically powerful conceptual models, experience demonstrates that it often fails in supporting the delivery of systems that were accepted by the community of users. Indeed, a number of studies have shown that many systems fail due to an inadequate understanding of the requirements they seek to address. Furthermore, the amount of effort needed to fix these systems has been found to be very high.

To correct this situation, it is necessary to view information systems as fulfilling some purpose in an organisation. Understanding purpose, goals, and intentions is a necessary condition for the design of successful systems. Conceptual modeling therefore needs to go beyond functionality requirements that specify the �what,' to encompass the deeper contextual understanding of the �whys.' The why questions are answered in terms of organisational objectives and the desires and motivations of stakeholders and participants. modeling the �whys' helps in requirements elicitation, validation, and specification in a more focused manner. Goal-oriented approaches in requirements engineering has emerged to meet this expectation.

The Workshop aims to provide a forum for discussing the interplay between requirements engineering and conceptual modeling, and in particular, to investigate how goal- and intention-driven approaches help in conceptualising purposeful systems. What are the fundamental objectives and premises of requirements engineering and conceptual modeling respectively, and how can they complement each other? What are the demands on conceptual modeling from the standpoint of requirements engineering? What conceptual modeling techniques can be further taken advantage of in requirements engineering? What are the upcoming modeling challenges and issues in GORE? What are the unresolved open questions? What lessons are there to be learnt from industrial experiences? What empirical data are there to support the cost-benefit analysis when adopting GORE methods? Are there applications domains or types of project settings for which goals and intentional approaches are particularly suitable or not suitable? What degree of formalization and automation or interactivity are feasible and appropriate for what types of participants during requirements engineering? e.g., business domain stakeholders, requirements modellers, ontology engineers, etc.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* modeling and semantics in GORE frameworks * analysis and reasoning with intentions and goals * ontological and epistemological foundations * cognitive, behavioral, and sociological perspectives * goals, scenarios, and business process modeling * goals and viewpoints, management of conflicts and inconsistencies * goals in requirements and design patterns * goals in reuse * goals and traceability * goals and aspects * change management, versioning and view management for GORE * visualization and tool support for GORE * software engineering process and organization for GORE * GORE and agile methods * GORE in distributed software development * GORE for COTS system development and selection * GORE for product families and high-variability software * GORE for adaptive systems and agile enterprise * comparison and evaluation of GORE approaches * industrial experiences and empirical studies * GORE for services engineering * GORE and business modeling and strategy reasoning * goal-oriented conceptual modeling for security, privacy, and trust * goal-oriented modeling for user experience and interaction design * goal-oriented modeling of system architecture * interaction and integration with other conceptual modeling paradigms, e.g., object-oriented and agent-oriented models * goal-oriented modeling for specific application domains - e.g., healthcare, e-government, mobile commerce, ambient intelligence

PAPER SUBMISSION

Format and Duration: We aim for a highly interactive forum. Discussants and discussion facilitators will be formally appointed for each paper and session, respectively. The working language is English, and will last one full day.

Workshop proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. Thus, authors must submit manuscripts using the Springer-Verlag LNCS style for Lecture Notes in Computer Science. See http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for style files and details.

Submission and types of papers: We solicit technical research papers, industrial experience reports, and speculative/visionary papers. Submissions should be in LNCS and pdf format. The maximum length is 10 pages. Accepted papers will be published in the LNCS workshop proceedings.

Submit papers by e-mail to: rolland@univ-paris1.fr carson.woo@ubc.ca camille@univ-paris1.fr
