Towards the analysis of components interoperability by means of i*

Abstract

Information Systems lay at the heart of today’s enterprise organizations. As the organizations grow, Information Systems should evolve to adapt to new requirements emerging from changes in business models, including the adoption of new services paradigms or operational improvements. These emerging requirements impact Information Systems Architecture, requiring a continuous analysis and adaptation to new realities. In previous work, we have proposed the DHARMA Method aimed at the identification of Information System Architecture by means of the i* framework. In this on-going work we focus in the results of activity 4 of the method, which uses SR diagrams to analyze interoperability among System Actors. The results of the application of this method in a large industrial case, are used to illustrate the proposal.
