<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 href="http://istar.rwth-aachen.de/tiki-view_articles.php" target="_blank">http://istar.rwth-aachen.de/tiki-view_articles.php</a> and<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 href="http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html" target="_blank">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 mention and describe it explicitly<br>
- Section 4. Conclusions. Of particular interest are any assessments of i* and related frameworks, including industrial experiences<br>
- Section 5. Ongoing and future work<br>
- References. Please restrict references to mainly your own work.<br>

<b>i* Workshop TOOLS FAIR: Call for Submissions</b><br>
<br>
Many tools have been created to facilitate modeling and analysis with i*<br>
and 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>
page on the i* wiki:<br>
<a href="http://istar.rwth-aachen.de/tiki-index.php?page=i*+Tools" target="_blank">http://istar.rwth-aachen.de/tiki-index.php?page=i*+Tools</a>. If a page on the<br>
wiki already exists for your tool, please update it as appropriate. Contact<br>
<a href="mailto:jenhork@cs.utoronto.ca" target="_blank">jenhork@cs.utoronto.ca</a> if you require a new user name and password for the<br>
