“…In this it reflects to some extent the experience of others in using UML to model organisations (see [16][17][18][19]). With non-technical systems there is perhaps the need for an intermediate step between knowledge gathering and detailed modeling in which the modeller can explore the domain of interest without being tied to a rigid semantic framework.…”

Abstract-A principal mechanism for achieving the policy goal of the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is the widespread electrification of transport and heating coupled with the parallel de-carbonization of electricity generation. This requires a major expansion of renewable generation (principally wind) together with new nuclear and clean fossil. This paper reviews both the policy position within the UK and the implications for system balancing that large-scale intermittent generation, such as wind, presents to the System Operator (SO). One proposal for helping to maintain system balance is the use of Demand Response (DR) by the SO. It is by no means clear whether the existing industrial structure can provide the right incentives for the realization of significant DR capacity. This paper presents a method of classifying barriers and describes experience in developing a Systems Engineering methodology, using the Systems Modeling Language (SysML), as an approach to modeling the structural and operational aspects of the British system with the objective of understanding barriers to the implementation of DR.

“…Thus, the quality requirement engineers with the business architects are now able to systematically elicit the NFRs for software systems. This is anticipated to complement the work in [2], [10]. In particular, the work has optimized the Riva BPA model by documenting its integration with business QRs, which embody the QoS requirements for candidate software services [6].…”

Abstract-The Business Process (BP) identification is one of the fundamental and preliminary activities in the Business Process Management (BPM) in order to carry out the design of a Business Process Architecture (BPA). The Riva is a recent BPA modelling approach, which stems from the behavioral business entities. However, a Riva-based BPA lacks the explicit representation of the business Quality Requirements (QRs), which represent the desired quality attributes that constrain the identified BP operations such as security. The Non-Functional Requirements (NFR) Framework is soft Goal-Oriented (GO) approach that systematically elicits NFRs for the development of software systems. The i* framework is another GO approach that tends to understand a business organization. In this paper, a novel approach is proposed in order to integrate the QRs into a Riva BPA using the synthesis of the i* and the NFR frameworks. The work is evaluated using a pilot case study from a health care domain in Jordan. The proposed approach recovered the absence of the QRs in a Riva BPA and enriched its representation. In addition, it optimized the role of the BP identification by addressing both the operational and non-operational aspects. Finally, the generated knowledge from this synthesis is anticipated to assist and benefit the requirement engineers in eliciting the quality of the BP-driven software services.Index Terms-The i* framework, the NFR framework, riva, business process architecture, business process management, quality requirements, quality of service.

“…In relation to the first aspect, there have been efforts to map business process models, and in particular RADs (Ould, 1995), into system models using heuristics (Odeh, et. al, 2002;Odeh, et. al, 2003), simulations (Martinez-Garcia, et.…”
