Invited Talk:
Supporting business requirements management in TOGAF and ArchiMate
Dick Quartel - Novay - The Netherlands
Abstract. Requirements management is an important activity in the process of designing and managing enterprise architectures. Nonetheless, the guidance that enterprise architecture methods offer to support requirements management is limited. For example, in TOGAF’s Architecture Development Method (ADM) requirements management is a central process that applies to all phases of the ADM cycle. However, TOGAF merely presents ‘requirements’ on requirements management, and refrains from mandating or recommending (existing) methods and tools.
In addition, many enterprise architecture modeling techniques focus on ‘what’ the enterprise should do and pay little or no attention to the motivations and intentions, i.e., the ‘why’, behind the architectures in terms of goals, principles and requirements. For example, ArchiMate aims at the modeling of ‘as is’ and ‘to be’ architectures in terms of informational, behavioral and structural models at different architectural layers, in particular the business, application and technology layers. However, the stakeholder goals, architectural principles and business requirements that should be satisfied by the architectures cannot be modeled in ArchiMate.
In this talk, I will present methodological and modeling support for requirements management that is well-aligned with both TOGAF and ArchiMate. The methodological support enhances the requirements management ‘phase’ of the TOGAF ADM. And the modeling support comprises an extension to ArchiMate, called the Motivation extension, that enables the modeling of stakeholders, goals, principles and requirements.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Competitive businesses and an ever changing market have demanded that current organizations constantly evolve. To achieve that, it becomes necessary to develop a deep understanding of the organizational practices and systems. This motivates an increasing interest in business processes engineering. Such interest has the benefit to allow a deep understanding of the processes that generate the main products and services offered by the organization. This may lead to: a) enhance these processes to obtain higher quality both in products and services; b) develop information systems which are more in line with the current processes, so that such systems more appropriately satisfy user requirements; and c) provide documentation of the applied practices, leading to more efficient knowledge management, which enables the integration of newcomers within the organization.
However, to guarantee that business process engineering is applied to its full potential, keeping the organization competitive, it is necessary to understand how these processes achieve the local and strategic goals of the organization. This may guide the decision regarding which activities and processes should be the priorities of that particular organization.
Goal modeling has gained a lot of attention in the past few years, especially in the field of Requirements Engineering. In this context, goals are applied as a natural modeling construct to capture the requirements of a system to-be. Within the Business Process Engineering community, some works have included the concept of goal as modeling primitive, acknowledging its importance to motivate processes that underlie organizations. However, up to very recently, such goal models have remained peripheral and often ignored in current business process engineering practices.
The International Workshop on Goal-based Business Process Engineering (WGBP 2010) is the first of what we hope to be many events that bring together researchers and practitioners in the areas of goals and business process engineering to discuss how these two complementary areas may be integrated. This way, we hope to contribute to the development of each of these areas, as well as to create a forum where works that combine them may be published and discussed.

submission guidelines
This workshop accepts two kinds of papers: short papers (up to 4 pages long) and full papers (between 8 and 10 pages long). All submissions to workshops must comply with the IEEE Computer Society conference proceedings format guidelines (http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting) (please use the latest template as there have been updates recently). Submissions must be in English and must be made using EasyChair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wgbp2010).
Workshop proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and will be accessible through IEEE Xplore and the IEEE Computer Society Digital Library. In order to have the paper published, at least one author of each accepted workshop paper will have to register for the whole EDOC 2010 conference and attend the workshop to present the paper. The IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the workshop.
All papers will be refereed by at least 3 members of the international program committee. Reviews are based on originality, relevance, technical soundness and presentation (all paper sections are considered for review, not only an extended abstract).
IMPORTANT DATES
