Abstract

Goal models are developed in the intertwined phases of requirements engineering and early architectural design. They relate the goals of a software-intensive system, the agents forming the software and its environment, and the objects and tasks such agents control in order to operationalize the goals. We briefly discuss why and how goal models provide a key asset for documenting the contextual and derivational aspects of a software architecture.
