“…The model allows the incorporation of new proposals from methods and techniques to knowledge management models or perspectives of elicitation of requirements. For example, we are currently analysing the adaptation that is based on goals elicitation approach [26], the knowledge audit model [25] and the social network analysis [27].…”

Eliciting requirements of products or solutions in informally structured domains is a highly creative and complex activity due to the inherent characteristics of these domains, such as the great quantities of tacit knowledge used by domain specialists, the dynamic interaction between domain specialists and their environment in order to solve problems, the necessity of these solutions of products to be developed by teams of specialists and the asymmetry of knowledge between domain specialists and requirements engineers. The knowledge management discipline promotes an integrated approach in order to face these challenges; therefore, a strategy for addressing requirements elicitation that incorporates techniques and methods of this discipline has been proposed as a serious approach to deal with those challenges. The valuable results of the application of the strategy in real cases prove empirical insights about its utility.

“…As iStar evolves, agility at modeling method level becomes a necessity, which makes it an ideal case for the AMME framework. In this section, we present the current conceptualization of iStar in the OMiLAB 5 (Franch, López, Cares, & Colomer, 2016). The iStar requirements cover not only notational aspects but also processing functionality in the modeling environment, such as: 1) Boundary highlighting: the notation needs to intuitively encode the relationships between intentional elements and intentional actors.…”

This paper motivates, describes, demonstrates in use, and evaluates the Open Models Laboratory (OMiLAB)-an open digital ecosystem designed to help one conceptualize and operationalize conceptual modeling methods. The OMiLAB ecosystem, which a generalized understanding of "model value" motivates, targets research and education stakeholders who fulfill various roles in a modeling method's lifecycle. While we have many reports on novel modeling methods and tools for various domains, we lack knowledge on conceptualizing such methods via a full-fledged dedicated open ecosystem and a methodology that facilitates entry points for novices and an open innovation space for experienced stakeholders. This gap continues due to the lack of an open process and platform for 1) conducting research in the field of modeling method design, 2) developing agile modeling tools and model-driven digital products, and 3) experimenting with and disseminating such methods and related prototypes. OMiLAB incorporates principles, practices, procedures, tools, and services required to address the issues above since it focuses on being the operational deployment for a conceptualization and operationalization process built on several pillars: 1) a granularly defined "modeling method" concept whose building blocks one can customize for the domain of choice, 2) an "agile modeling method engineering" framework that helps one quickly prototype modeling tools, 3) a model-aware "digital product design lab", and 4) dissemination channels for reaching a global community. In this paper, we demonstrate and evaluate the OMiLAB in research with two selected application cases for domain-and case-specific requirements. Besides these exemplary cases, OMiLAB has proven to effectively satisfy requirements that almost 50 modeling methods raise and, thus, to support researchers in designing novel modeling methods, developing tools, and disseminating outcomes. We also measured OMiLAB's educational impact.

“…i * influenced NFR (Non-functional Requirements Framework) and formed a basis for other frameworks and methodologies like Tropos [7], GRL (Goal-oriented Requirements Language), and iStar 2.0 [10], which represents the core concepts of i * . The evolution of the goal model approaches and frameworks are graphically illustrated in [12]. GRL is a part of the URN, which became an ITU standard for elicitation, analysis, specification, and validation of requirements [17].…”
