Abstract :
The main focus of the Requirements Engineering is to generate requirements specifications that meet the needs of users and clients. To assist requirements engineers in this work, we propose a set of guidelines to deriving i* organizational models for the late requirements phase from activities models. We argue that integrating the i* technique and activity theory we can produce more complete and non-ambiguous requirements models by exploring these two different views. The proposed guidelines are applied to a Pet Shop case study.
