FINAL CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

Fifth International i* Workshop (iStar'11) Trento, Italy, 29-30 August, 
2011

http://www.cin.ufpe.br/~istar11/


Co-located with the 19th IEEE International Requirements Engineering 
Conference (RE’11)

A growing number of groups around the world have been using the i* 
modellingframework in their research on early requirements engineering, business

process design, organization modelling, software development methodologies,
and more. Following successful workshops in Trento (2002), London (2005),
Recife (2008) and Hammamet (2010), it is time for another meeting focusing

on i*, Tropos, and related frameworks, where researchers can exchange 
ideas, compare notes, and hopefully forge new collaboration with like-minded folk.

We are organizing the Fifth International i* Workshop, and cordially invite

you and members of your group to join us. The 2-day workshop will be 
held in Trento, Italy, 29-30 August, 2011, as a co-located event with the 19th IEEE
International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE’11). This year, the

workshop is including a Tools Fair, see description at the end of this 
message.

This research workshop complements the iStar Showcase’11 event being
organized for 21 June, 2011 in London UK, aimed at promoting industry

awareness and adoption. You may find timely information about this event

FORMAT:

The objective of the workshop is to share knowledge, stimulate discussion
and foster new lines of research and collaboration among different groups.

To support these goals, we will schedule as much time for discussion as for

presentations – the actual time will depend on the final number of accepted
papers. For every accepted paper, we will assign one discussant that will
provide an initial position about the paper once presented, and then

discussion will follow. If the schedule allows, we plan to include further
occasions for discussion in the program, in addition to the customary
wrap-up session.

The program will also include a keynote talk.

- Section 2. Objectives of the research.
- Section 3. Scientific contributions. If you have tool support, please

mention and describe it explicitly
- Section 4. Conclusions. Of particular interest are any assessments of i*
and related frameworks, including industrial experiences
- Section 5. Ongoing and future work
- References. Please restrict references to mainly your own work.
