Abstract

Requirements engineering and architectural design are strongly intertwined and interrelated software development activities. This paper presents a systematic approach to integrate requirements engineering and architectural design activities 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. Non-functional requirements (NFRs) are used to select among architectural solutions and architectural patterns. An e-commerce system is used as running example to illustrate our approach.
