“…(1) Methods used to deal with internal inconsistency As discussed above, the requirements in context-aware systems are from diverse sources and in diverse formats, and this may lead to internal inconsistency in requirement models. Logical-based methods are suitable for solving this kind of challenge, because they can represent requirements and their related context constraints in logical expressions and use automated analysis tools to detect and resolve the inconsistencies based on predefined logical rules [88], [89].…”

“…Internal inconsistency: In a context-aware system, not only can the requirements from different stakeholders result in internal inconsistency, but also the requirements related to different contexts can cause internal inconsistency [88], [89]. How to model the inconsistent requirements to facilitate their detection and resolution is a challenging task.…”

A context-aware system always needs to adapt its behaviors according to context changes; therefore, modeling context-aware requirements is a complex task. With the increasing use of mobile computing, research on methods of modeling context-aware requirements have become increasingly important, and a large number of relevant studies have been conducted. However, no comprehensive analysis of the challenges and achievements has been performed. The methodology of systematic literature review was used in this survey, in which 68 reports were selected as primary studies. The challenges and methods to confront these challenges in context-aware requirement modeling are summarized. The main contributions of this work are: (1) four challenges and nine sub-challenges are identified; (2) eight kinds of methods in three categories are identified to address these challenges; (3) the extent to which these challenges have been solved is evaluated; and (4) directions for future research are elaborated.

“…Researchers have proposed that the modelling of flexible processes should be based on accepted ideas of work practice rather than on software programming principles (Adams, Edmond, and Ter Hofstede 2003). Activity theory, a powerful paradigm to understand human work practices (Kuutti 1996), is believed to be applicable for the analysis of process dynamics (Adams, Edmond, and Ter Hofstede 2003;Adams et al 2006a;Urbieta et al 2012). Previous research has shown that it is possible to elicit data elements and their relationships through activity theory (Chen et al 2013;Karanasios et al 2013).…”

The aspect of collaboration is gaining a considerable amount of importance in current logistics operations. The large number of dynamics that arise in collaborative logistics processes with numerous complexities and variations can make the modelling of such collaborative logistics processes a challenging task. Hence, a systematic modelling approach is required to make sense of the enormous amount of unorganized process information. In this paper, we present an ontological method for modelling the dynamics within collaborative logistics processes. An activity theory-guided approach is employed to elicit the process information, which is then formalized using an ontological model.Dynamic adaptations for the collaborative logistics process operations are supported through an instance level inference of the model. The applicability of the method is demonstrated by means of a case study.

While building Web application models from scratch is well-supported, reuse in Web application modeling is still in its infancy. A promising approach in this respect is aspect-oriented modeling to separate certain concerns from the base application, typically cross-cutting ones, and reuse them in various applications. A few Web modeling languages targeting the design phase have been already equipped with aspect-orientation. However, languages for the early phases of Web modeling lack such support, but especially these phases would tremendously benefit from aspect-orientation. Moreover, all the existing solutions are tailored to a specific modeling language. To improve this situation, we consider aspectorientation itself as an aspect. This allows us to weave aspect-oriented language features into already existing Web modeling languages. We introduce a generic metamodel module comprising the main concepts of aspect-orientation as well as a tool-supported process to weave it into existing base languages. By having this systematic metamodel weaving process, dedicated modeling as well as designtime weaving support is provided for aspects out-of-the-box. We demonstrate our approach by aspectifying a Web requirements modeling language based on i* and applying the aspectified version of it to a case study.
