Abstract

Requirements engineering and architectural design are key activities for successful development of software systems. Both activities are strongly intertwined and interrelated, but many steps toward generating architecture models from requirements models are driven by intuition and architectural knowledge. Thus, systematic approaches that integrate requirements engineering and architectural design activities are needed. This paper presents an approach based on model transformations to generate architectural models from requirements models. The source and target languages are respectively the i* modeling language and Acme architectural description language (ADL). A real web-based recommendation system is used as case study to illustrate our approach.
