<br>Co-located with the 19th IEEE International Requirements Engineering <br>Conference (RE’11)<br><br>A growing number of groups around the world have been using the i* <br>modellingframework in their research on early requirements engineering, business<br>
process design, organization modelling, software development methodologies,<br>and more. Following successful workshops in Trento (2002), London (2005),<br>Recife (2008) and Hammamet (2010), it is time for another meeting focusing<br>
on i*, Tropos, and related frameworks, where researchers can exchange <br>ideas, compare notes, and hopefully forge new collaboration with like-minded folk.<br><br>We are organizing the Fifth International i* Workshop, and cordially invite<br>
you and members of your group to join us. The 2-day workshop will be <br>held in Trento, Italy, 29-30 August, 2011, as a co-located event with the 19th IEEE<br>International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE’11). This year, the<br>
workshop is including a Tools Fair, see description at the end of this <br>message.<br><br>This research workshop complements the iStar Showcase’11 event being<br>organized for 21 June, 2011 in London UK, aimed at promoting industry<br>
awareness and adoption. You may find timely information about this event<br>at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://istar.rwth-aachen.de/tiki-view_articles.php">http://istar.rwth-aachen.de/tiki-view_articles.php</a> and<br>

<br><br><br>FORMAT:<br><br>The objective of the workshop is to share knowledge, stimulate discussion<br>and foster new lines of research and collaboration among different groups.<br><br>To support these goals, we will schedule as much time for discussion as for<br>
presentations – the actual time will depend on the final number of accepted<br>papers. For every accepted paper, we will assign one discussant that will<br>provide an initial position about the paper once presented, and then<br>
discussion will follow. If the schedule allows, we plan to include further<br>occasions for discussion in the program, in addition to the customary<br>wrap-up session.<br><br>The program will also include a keynote talk.<br>
<br><br>PAPER SUBMISSIONS<br><br>Contributions should be 4-6 pages in LNCS format,<br><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html">http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html</a>, describing current and<br>
ongoing research related the i* framework. The contribution shall adhere to<br>the following structure:<br>- Title, authors, abstract<br>- Section 1. Introduction.<br>- Section 2. Objectives of the research.<br>- Section 3. Scientific contributions. If you have tool support, please<br>
mention and describe it explicitly<br>- Section 4. Conclusions. Of particular interest are any assessments of i*<br>and related frameworks, including industrial experiences<br>- Section 5. Ongoing and future work<br>- References. Please restrict references to mainly your own work.<br>

<br><br>i* Workshop TOOLS FAIR: Call for Submissions<br><br>Many tools have been created to facilitate modeling and analysis with i* <br>and<br>related frameworks. As part of the 5th International i* Workshop (iStar’11)<br>
we are organizing a Tools Fair to update community knowledge about the<br>current offerings of i* modeling and reasoning tools.<br><br><br>FORMAT<br><br>The i* Workshop will include a session for tool demos. The session will<br>
consist of a two-minute presentation of two slides (automatic transition<br>from one slide to the next will be enforced) and then the floor will be<br>opened for demos.<br><br><br>TOOL SUBMISSIONS<br><br>Fill out a form providing information about your tool by creating a wiki<br>
