=======================

*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/ http://www.cin.ufpe.br/%7Eistar11/

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-compu....

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 mailto: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
