J-PRiM: A Java Tool for a Process Reengineering i* Methodology

The i* approach is a consolidated modelling technique that has proven to be useful in the requirements engineering phases of software development. Using i* requires the adoption of a methodology for defining the models and tool support for manipulating them. For addressing those aspects, we propose J-PRiM, a tool that allows to define i* models by applying PRiM, our process reengineering i* methodology

1. Introduction

The framework [1] is becoming a consolidated approach both in academia and industry. As we can check in [2], it is broadly applied in fields such as requirements engineering, organizational analysis and business process reengineering, among others. The framework proposes the use of Strategic Dependency models (SD) and Strategic Rational (SR) models for representing socio-technical systems.
