Title
Reusable Goal Models
Abstract
Goal models help elicit, specify, analyze, and validate requirements as they capture hierarchical representations of system requirements, possible solutions, stakeholder objectives, and their relationships. In the early requirements phase, goal models aid requirements engineers in understanding the goals of stakeholders and exploring solution alternatives based on their impact on these goals. Despite these strengths of goal modeling, reuse of goal models has received limited attention in the goal modeling community for various reasons. We argue that the requirements that need to be fulfilled at least for the reuse of goal models are as follows: (i) ensure that trade-off reasoning via goal model evaluation is possible through the reuse hierarchy, (ii) provide the means to delay decisions to a later point in the reuse hierarchy when more complete information is available, while still allowing the reusable artifact to be analyzed, (iii) take into account constraints imposed by other modeling notations when evaluating reusable goal models, (iv) allow context dependent information to be modeled so that the goal model can be used and analyzed in various application contexts, and (v) last but not the least, provide a well-defined interface for reuse. This research abstract argues that existing goal modeling approaches do not fully address these five required capabilities for reusability, and reports on both completed and planned research work.
