CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
AND PARTICIPATION
As the i*
modeling approach is becoming more widely known, more case
studies of practical applications
are becoming available. This half-day
event targeted at practitioners aims to showcase a
variety of practical
applications of i*, and to provide a
forum for exchanging ideas and
experiences among users and
researchers. We seek contributions for
presentations and posters demonstrating
the practical use of i* modeling
in a wide variety of application domains and
usage contexts. The
emphasis at this event will be on
practical applicability and utility,
rather than on research novelty. Presentations from
completed projects
as well as work-in-progress are welcome.
This
event aimed at promoting industry awareness and adoption will
complement the iStar’11 research
workshop to be held August 29-30, 2011,
co-located with the RE’11 conference
in Trento, Italy.

Format (tentative)
-----------------
- An
overview of i* modeling (20-minute - motivations and a very
compressed tutorial)
- A round
of short presentation (5 minutes each) to present highlights
of each poster, and to illustrate the diversity
and breadth of usage
scenarios and application domains.
- 2-3
presentations (15-20 minutes each) to help clarify and reinforce
i* concepts and the kinds of analyses
presented in the introductory
overview and tutorial.
- Poster
session and socializing - for face-to-face interactions and
in-depth discussions around each
poster. Participants are encouraged to
bring laptops for demos around each poster.
Submission
----------
Please
submit a proposal consisting of no more than 2 pages of text plus
2 pages
of figures, including 1 to 2 sample i* models from your project.
(The
models used in the poster or presentation may be variations or
excerpts of the ones in the
proposal.)
The
content of the proposal should include:
- Title:
title of the presentation/poster
- Team:
names of presenters/project participants and affiliations
-
Presenter: name of person who will be presenting
-
Industry involvement: nature and extent of academic/industry/business
collaboration, types of personnel
involved
- Setting
and context: brief description of the domain setting, and what
motivated the use of i*
- Status:
status of the project (e.g., early-stage, in-progress with
some results, or completed with lessons learned)
-
Benefits: benefits from using i* modeling and analysis in the project
- Lessons
learned: lessons learned
-
Language and variants: language variant used (vanilla i*, minor
modifications, major extensions, Tropos, GRL/URN, etc.
-
Features used: what features of i* were used in the project (e.g., SD
only with a few softgoals,
SR with goal model evaluation, etc.)
- Tools
and methodologies: what tools and methodologies were used
- Model
size: rough indication of the largest size of model used -
number of actors and intentional elements in models
-
Efforts: rough estimate of person-hours used to learn and to apply i*
modeling and analysis in the
project.
Proceedings
-----------
Since the
event is aimed at the practitioner community, the
"proceedings" will consist of a compilation of slide
decks and poster
files provided by the presenters. Final submission
will be required by
June 8th.
The proceedings will be distributed to registered participants
electronically in advance of the event.
Important dates
---------------
Submit
proposals to Jennifer Horkoff <jenhork@cs.utoronto.ca> by May
27th.
Final
submission of the slide deck and/or poster will be required by
June 8th.
