Stepwise construction and refinement of dependability models
Proceedings International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks
This paper presents a stepwise approach for dependability modeling, based on Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets (GSPNs). ...
This approach allows the various dependencies to be taken into account at the right level of abstraction: Functional dependency, structural dependency and those induced by non-exponential distributions ...
Acknowledgements The authors wish to thank Mohamed Kâaniche for his helpful comments on an earlier version of this paper. ...

SYSTEMATIC CONSTRUCTION OF i* STRATEGIC DEPENDENCY MODELS FOR SOCIO-TECHNICAL SYSTEMS
2007
International journal of software engineering and knowledge engineering
As a result, we may say that RiSD supports the construction process of goal-and agent-oriented models whilst increasing their understanding. ...
In this paper we present RiSD, a method for building Strategic Dependency (SD) models in the i * notation. RiSD is defined in a prescriptive way to reduce uncertainness when constructing the model. ...

The UML «include» Relationship and the Functional Refinement of Use Cases
2010
2010 36th EUROMICRO Conference on Software Engineering and Advanced Applications
In this paper we focus on use cases for software development and we analyze them from the perspective of detail. In that context we explore the UML (Unified Modeling Language) «include» relationship. ...
This work allows understanding the use case modeling activity with support for refinement and provides for specific guidelines on how to conduct such activity. ...
The work we are presenting in this paper allows refining (also in a stepwise manner) software models that shall be handled before code is handled during the software construction phase. Cherfi, et al. ...

Stepwise-Refining Speech Separation Network via Fine-Grained Encoding in High-order Latent Domain
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
In this paper, we propose the Stepwise-Refining Speech Separation Network (SRSSN), which follows a coarse-to-fine separation framework. ...
Then the proposed SRSSN learns a new latent domain along each basis function of the existing latent domain to obtain a high-order latent domain in the refining phase, which enables our model to perform ...
Each block consists of two paths: an intrapath used for capturing the intra-dependencies within each chunk and an inter-path for modeling the inter-dependencies among chunks. ...

Fostering the Adoption of i * by Practitioners: Some Challenges and Research Directions
[chapter]
2010
Intentional Perspectives on Information Systems Engineering
For each challenge, we present the problem that is addressed, its current state of the art and some envisaged lines of research. ...
However, the i* framework has not been transferred to practitioners at the same extent yet: industrial experiences using i* are not many and have been mainly conducted by i* experts that are part of that ...
Refinement steps may yield to new actors and dependencies, and also to the gradual construction of the Strategic Rationale (SR) i* diagram of each actor by decomposing their main goal using means-end and ...

Incorporating Modules into the i* Framework
[chapter]
2010
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
One of the most important causes for this problem is the lack of modularity constructs in the language: just the concept of actor boundary allows grouping related model elements. ...
We explore the different types of modules that may be conceived in the framework, define them in terms of an i* metamodel, and introduce different model operators that support their application. ...
Although it is true that separation of concerns may help to structure the i* models, the proposal still does not include modules to support the basic concept of stepwise refinement. ...
