“…This phase is concerned with identifying key stakeholders, and determining their needs and criteria for selection. To do so, our proposal extends a version of a Goal-Oriented Requirements Analysis Method (AGORA) [7] by considering additional features of COTS components. Particularly, completeness is assumed as a quality factor that represents how many goals in a specification meet stakeholder's needs.…”

In attempting to build a COTS integrated system, we can use several methods that typically pay attention to specify search criteria and goals to be met. Yet these methods often overlook some elements in the process such as fact-based decisions and teamwork, which might drive the process helping to increase the probability of success. In this position paper, we identify some features that we have found useful in our research, and which we believe need further discussion before setting a process for COTS component measurement and selection.

“…We are mostly interested in quantitative-dominant proposals because they allow more objective and repeatable analysis of i* models. Apart from iMDF itself, we mention Kaiya et al's AGORA method [7] that provides techniques for estimating the quality of requirements specifications with emphasis in the AND/OR decomposition of goals. Sutcliffe and Minocha [8] propose the analysis of dependency coupling for detecting excessive interaction among users and systems; they combine quantitative formulae based in the form of the model with some expert judgment for classifying dependencies into a qualitative scale.…”

Abstract. The i* framework has been widely adopted by the information systems community for goal-and agent-oriented modeling and analysis. One of its potential benefits is the assessment of the properties of the modeled sociotechnical system. In this respect, the definition and evaluation of metrics may play a fundamental role. We are interested in porting to the i* framework metrics that have been already defined and validated in other domains. After some experimentation with i* metrics in this context, the complexity inherent to their definition has driven us to build a method for defining them. In this paper, we present the resulting method, iMDF M , which is structured into 4 steps: domain analysis, domain metrics analysis, metrics formulation and framework update. We apply our approach to an existing suite of metrics for measuring business processes performance and drive some observations from this experiment.

“…Along a different dimension, qualitative goal analysis [16] allows qualitative contributions from one goal to another, and shows how to formalize and reason with them. In whatever form, goal-oriented requirements engineering has been attracting considerable attention within the software engineering community [17][18][19][20].…”

Abstract. Work in software reuse focuses on reusing artifacts. In this context, finding a reusable artifact is driven by a desired functionality. This paper proposes a change to this common view. We argue that it is possible and necessary to also look at reuse from a non-functional (quality) perspective. Combining ideas from reuse, from goal-oriented requirements, from aspect-oriented programming and quality management, we obtain a goal-driven process to enable the quality-based reusability.
