Report on the First International i* Teaching Workshop (iStarT)

Abstract

The i* Framework, facilitating goal-oriented information systems modeling, has received much attention in research since its introduction. As the i* and related frameworks (e.g., GRL and Tropos) have been in existence for more than 20 years, researchers around the world have accumulated experience in teaching such languages, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, to students with a wide variety of backgrounds. It is our aim to begin to collect and share these experiences. As such, we organized the first International iStar Teaching Workshop (iStarT'15), a focused workshop covering topics related to i* and goal-oriented pedagogy held at the Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE'15). In this report we summarize the presentations, discussion and future plans made as part of iStarT'15.
