Goal-Oriented Requirement Engineering Support for Business Continuity Planning

Nowadays supply chains have to face an increasing number of risks related to the globalisation, especially impacting the procurement processes. Even though tools are available to help companies in addressing those risks, most companies, even larger ones, still have problems to adequately quantify the risks and assess to what extend an alternative could address them. The aim of our work is to provide companies with a software supported methodology to quantify such risks and elaborate adequate risk mitigation strategies at an optimal cost. Based on a survey conducted about the risk management practices and needs within companies, we developed a tool that enables a constant focus on risks by enabling the easy expression of key risks together with the process model and hence help to focus the granularity of the model at the right level. A model-based simulator can then efficiently evaluate these risks thanks to well-known Monte-Carlo simulation techniques. Our main technical contribution lies in the development of an efficient discrete event simulation (DES) engine together with a query language which can be used to measure business risks based on simulation results. We demonstrate the expressiveness and performance of our approach by benchmarking it on a set of cases originating from the industry and covering a large set of risk categories.

This research area is concerned with the identification of the goals to be achieved by the system "to-be", the operationalization of such goals into specifications of services and constraints and the assignment of responsibilities for such services and constraints among human, physical and software components forming the system agents [18].…”

Developing e-Government interoperability in the government context is a complex task. As interoperability in government context is associated and hindered by many challenges and barriers connected to government nature of complexity. Interoperability is generally defined as the ability for two (or more) systems to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged. In this paper, we focus on computing systems interoperability across government ministries to achieve interoperable e-Government IT based solutions. In order to achieve e-Government interoperability in an organised and efficient way, this paper establishes a guidance-based approach for enhancing the e-Government Interoperability. This contribution is motivated by the limitations of the traditional software engineering methodologies in terms of analysis, design and development frameworks to a point that they can hardly cope with the growing issues of e-Government services interoperability.
