Abstract-To elicit requirements is one of the most important activities in the Software Engineering process. To understand and correctly specify what the user wants is an indispensable condition to ensure that the software meets its intended purpose. For BI projects, the elicitation of requirements is a task of great importance, since BI projects are based on service-oriented systems for the strategic areas of organizations, and so errors and flaws can produce serious consequences. Thus, this paper aims to discuss methods and techniques developed for the requirements elicitation activity. Therefore, a process of requirements elicitation focused on BI projects is presented. The proposed process defines stages and activities, the interactions between them, a set of input and output documents, as well as the most appropriate elicitation techniques for BI projects. In addition, a case study is presented. It was performed to validate the stages and activities of REP-BIP and to verify if the artifacts produced are consistent with the expectations for requirements elicitation for BI projects. Index Terms-Software engineering, requirements elicitation, business intelligence, software process.

Abstract. The alignment and adaptation of business processes with organizational strategies require a high level of effort affecting several businesses. This is caused by the low level of flexibility in information systems to changes in business requirements. Another problem encountered in organizations is the diversity of data formats that are related to financial information, since these are stored in heterogeneous computer systems. An adaptive and structured IT environment can influence the improvment of flexibility and adaptability of business processes, including information systems. Based on this context and with a view to solving these problems, we propose in this paper a model of SOA (service-oriented architecture) deployment and integration with XBRL. This work is expected to contribute to the ease of adaptation of information systems to business changes and improvements in the quality and reliability of financial reporting issues.

The processing of business rules usually occurs through its encoding in software applications, causing impacts that hinder their maintenance and reuse. In the financial area, the centralization of business rules represented in technology XBRL Formula promotes reuse by multiple applications and reduces these impacts. However, its use is not widespread and solutions that enable the applications reusing business rules with flexibility are restricted to proprietary solutions. This article proposes a framework for flexible processing of business rules defined with XBRL Formula from the use of services.

A aproximação de áreas de negócio com o uso de novas tecnologias, economia em tempo real, transações com vários países e em vários continentes com diferentes garantias legais são necessárias. Essas garantias podem ser adquiridas por meio da Auditoria Contínua (CA). No entanto, para poder realizar a análise, os auditores precisam ter acesso e extrair os dados. Pesquisadores anteriores enfatizam apenas os benefícios da aplicação dos métodos de AC, mas não explicam como recuperar e organizar os dados. Desta forma, propomos o desenvolvimento de um framework para integrar diferentes sistemas de auditoria contínua. O artigo visa contribuir para a literatura com o aprofundamento das formas de acessar, estruturar e coletar dados críticos e necessários para a AC. Com o aprofundamento do Audit Data Standard e do eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL), além de criar uma base para pesquisas futuras com a integração de algoritmos de extração, análise e detecção de exceção que são utilizados pela CA.
