Clarifying Goal Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Representation and reasoning about information system (IS) requirements is facilitated with the use of goal models to describe the desired and undesired IS behaviors. One difficulty in goal modeling is arriving at a shared understanding of a goal model instance, mainly due to different backgrounds of the system stakeholders who participate in modeling, and the subsequent disparate use of terminology. Lack of shared understanding, or, in other words, the presence of multiple interpretations entails no guarantee that stakeholders’ expectations expressed in the model instance will be appropriately understood during the subsequent steps of system development. Among the many potential causes of multiple interpretations, this paper focuses on a critical set of such causes, namely: ambiguity, overgenerality, synonymy, and vagueness of information represented in instances of goal modeling primitives. The “Goal Clarification Method” is suggested to guide the identification of unclear information and the subsequent clarification thereof.

Computation and Specification Models A Comparative Study
For each of the principal current models of computation and of highlevel system design, we present a uniform set of transparent easily understandable descriptions, which are faithful to the basic intuitions and concepts of the investigated systems. Our main goal is to provide a mathematical basis for the technical comparison of established models of computation which can contribute to rationali...

Taming Model Round-Trip Engineering
Round-trip engineering is a challenging task that will become an important enabler for many Model-Driven Software Development approaches. Model round-trip engineering involves synchronizing models and keeping them consistent, thus enabling the software engineer to freely move between different representations. This vision of complete round-trip engineering is only realized to a limited degree i...
متن کاملClarifying Misconceptions and Misrepresentations in Achievement Goal Research in Sport: A Response to Harwood, Hardy, and Swain.
In a recent article, Harwood, Hardy, and Swain (2000) presented what they termed a critical analysis of the conceptualization and measurement of achievement goals in sport. The purpose of the present article is to challenge their interpretation of achievement goal theory and to question many of their subsequent recommendations. Specifically, the present response will focus on Harwood et al.'s (...
متن کاملA New Goal programming approach for cross efficiency evaluation
Cross efficiency evaluation was developed as an extension of DEA. But the traditional DEA models usually have alternative optimal solutions and, as a result, cross efficiency scores may not be unique. It is recommended that without changing the DEA efficiency scores, the secondary goal should be introduced for optimization of the inputs/outputs weights. Several reports evaluated the perfo...
