Relating goal modeling with BPCM models in a combined framework

Abstract

In this paper, the issue of relating goal models with BPCM models in a combined framework is addressed. A business process characterizing model (BPCM) can be seen as a business-oriented model for the use in the early stages of a project, both for traditional development, but also for the development of multi-channel solutions working across a set of contexts. The combined modeling framework consists of goal modeling, process modeling and business process characterizing modeling. The framework is meant to guide both business stakeholders and model developers during modeling-based development. A development methodology to guide the development of goal models in terms of i*from business process characterizing model is proposed. Furthermore, the development methodology is illustrated by an exemplar of call for sponsors case in the field of scientific conference organization. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
