Thesis: An Ontology-Based Approach for Integrating i* variants by Karen Najera

Our aim in this thesis is to investigate the role of the use of ontologies to realize the integration of i* variants, propitiating the understanding of the i* variants and the understanding of their models by means of a common language established for the ontologies.

Thesis: Enriching organizational models through semantic annotation by Blanca Vazquez

We propose an approach to enrich an organizational model, described in the variants i*, Tropos and Service-oriented i*, with semantic annotation taken from domain ontologies. This allows the standardization of concepts, clarifying the label of the elements and achieving a common understanding in the community.

Supporting i* model integration through an ontology-based approach (iStar11)

Abstract: The i* framework is widely used for organizational modeling. It has been applied in di?erent application domains, hence many i* vari- ants have been proposed. Sharing information and integration of modelsexpressed in i* variants imply interoperability problems. The interoperability has been approached...

Enriching Organizational Models through Semantic Annotation (CIIECC 2013)

Abstract: Semantic annotation of visual models is useful to provide a precise, formal meaning to model elements, thus making them more understandable to people, enabling a deeper analysis of requirements and automated reasoning. We present an approach for the enrichment of visual models of an organization, with annotations ...

Generating Ontologies through Organizational Modeling (SEKE 2013)

Abstract: Ontologies are recognized as important component of information systems supporting business processes within and cross organizations. At modeling time, they contribute identifying key elements from business processes; at development time, their structure can be translated automatically ...

Towards supporting business services discovery through the integration of organizational models with ontologies (CIbSE 2013)

Abstract: We argue that the integration of organizational models with ontologies is useful to discover business services because we consider that a domain concept that integrated different elements of the model could represent new business services to the organization. These additional services could improve the performance...

An Ontology-Based Methodology for Integrating i* Variants (iStar13)

Abstract: Many variants of the i* Framework have been developed since its definition. For instance, i* -based modeling languages have been proposed for agent-oriented and service-oriented software development, for modeling risk, security requirements, and so on. The integration of models expressed in i* variants poses interoperability ...

Extension and integration of i* models with ontologies (iStar13)

Abstract: Currently, i* is one of the most well founded organizational modelling techniques. Its main feature is the expressibility to represent intentional social relations among stakeholders. In i* models, each modeling component is described explicitly through text labels. However, the process of labeling model elements is usually ...
