In this paper, we propose to define a method as a set of method chunks which contains guidelines for supporting the development process. There are two types of guidelines. One type supports decisions leading to a transformation of schema elements, whereas the second one helps

Sub-optimal processes can significantly impact on the patient's health, increase the consumption of services and resources and in severe cases can lead to the patient death. For these reasons, requirements engineering for the development of information technology in health care is a complex process as well: without constant and rigorous evaluation, the impact of new systems on the quality of care is unknown and it is possible that badly designed systems significantly harm patients. To overcome these limitations, we present and discuss an approach to requirements engineering that we applied for the development of applications for chemotherapy planning in paediatric oncology. Chemotherapy planning in paediatric oncology is complex and time-consuming and errors must be avoided by all means. In the multi-hospital/multi-trialcentre environment of paediatric oncology, it is especially difficult and time-consuming to analyse requirements. Our approach combines a grounded theory approach with evolutionary prototyping based on the constant development and refinement of a generic domain model, in this case a domain model for chemotherapy planning in paediatric oncology. The prototypes were introduced in medical centres and final results show that the developed generic domain model is adequate.

Method engineering aims at developing methods. The paper uses the four worlds framework to investigate the subject of method engineering. It presents a state-of-art survey with a view to identifying the important problems and research directions being followed to solve these. The major problems not yet addressed or which have newly emerged are highlighted

Les services composites ainsi obtenus peuvent a leur tour, entrer dans d’autres compositions. Cependant, le developpement de tels services composites est ‘ad hoc’ et pose des problemes d’identification, de composition et d’orchestration. Dans cet article, nous proposons une approche orientee but qui permet d’expliciter le besoin de differentes organisations d’un service composite a forte valeur ajoutee et de modeliser le processus cooperatif supportant ce service. Le modele oriente but appele modele de la Carte est utilise pour l’identification, la distribution et l’orchestration de services. L’article presente l’approche et l’illustre par un cas de service cooperatif de E-Pension.

The Sorbonne contribution to the Lyee collaborative project aims to reduce the software development cycle to two explicit steps, requirements engineering and code generation by coupling the code generation features of LyeeALL with an interface to capture user requirements. The paper presents a 2-layer meta-model relating the set of concepts to capture user requirements to the set of concepts for the formulation of software requirements that are the input of the LyeeALL generation mechanism. It exemplifies the concepts with example and introduces the guidance support for capturing these user centric requirements.

A Map represents requirements in terms of intentions and strategies to achieve intentions. We propose to transform these requirements into a Data Flow Diagram. We show that a Map and a DFD are compatible for this transformation and develop transformation rules. The materials management example is used to illustrate the approach. 0. INTRODUCTION A number of approaches for requirements engineering exist: goaloriented [Ant98], [Dar93], [Lam01], scenario-oriented, goal-scenario/ coupling-oriented [Kai00], [Rol98], and the intention/strategy approach of a Map [Rol99]. Similarly, a number of approaches for system design are available [Oll91], process-oriented, data-oriented, behaviouroriented, and Object-oriented. With the emergence of requirements engineering, it is necessary now to develop methods for conversion of requirements to system design. The contribution...

We raise this level from a functional description to a goal-oriented one. We use SAP R/3 to illustrate this. A SAP goal expresses the task that a SAP function carries out and abstracts away from the performance of this task. Since a SAP goal can be achieved in many ways, we introduce the notion of SAP strategies. We organise goals and strategies as a directed graph called a map. We illustrate the map with the Materials Management Module of SAP. In order to evaluate and compare the use of the map with the functional approach, we develop an evaluation framework. The evaluation and comparison are presented. The materials management map is then used to align the SAP module to the stores and purchase department of an academic institute.

Aujourd’hui comme jamais conscientes de ces aspects, les organisations souhaitent des systemes d’information plus efficaces, flexibles et adaptes pour traiter les problemes informationnels et les assister dans leurs actions aussi bien quotidiennes qu’a plus long terme. Il leur importe de donner a chacun, dans l’organisation, les moyens informationnels pour accomplir professionnellement sa mission et pour prendre opportunement et rapidement les decisions que la situation justifie. La base de donnees est au cœur des systemes d’information actuels. Vaste memoire collective, selective et structuree, repartie et disseminee dans l’organisation, necessairement complementaire de la memoire de chaque acteur de l’organisation, la base de donnees, au moyen de representations adequates, capte, traduit, aide a mettre en coherence et diffuse l’image des faits et actes de celle‐ci. Nous entendons par base de donnees une collection de donnees, representations partielles et operatoires d’aspects pertinents de la vie de l’organisation sur lesquels on souhaite etre renseignes. Ces collections de donnees aussi coherentes que possible, sont memorisees avec une redondance calculee et structurees de maniere a faciliter leur exploitation pour satisfaire une grande variete de demandes de renseignements par des utilisateurs ayant des exigences de reponses compatibles avec leurs conditions et lieux de travail. La base de donnees est une supermemoire au service des decideurs et des acteurs de l’organisation, capable de les renseigner sur la situation actuelle, sur l’historique des faits qui l’ont concernee et qu’elle a enregistres et eventuellement sur les faits previsibles du futur...

Il s’agit d’un exemple typique du domaine de la gestion des organisations auquel la methode s’applique tout particulierement. Cependant, l’integration forte de la conception des donnees et de leur dynamique preconisee par la methode la rend pertinente pour tous les types d’applications interactives et meme temps reel. La modelisation conceptuelle a notamment ete utilisee avec profit dans la specification de logiciels usuellement qualifies de logiciels techniques , tels que les logiciels telephoniques, et dans la construction d’un logiciel de commandes automatiques de trains.

A survey of the related research has shown that recent attempts to define reuse models have been limited to those supporting a single ISs methodology. This paper proposes a generic reuse model for taking into account several different ISs methodologies with a single development platform. The generic reuse model not only provides a basis for populating a RRC with reusable components in generic form, but also allows an IS to be conceptualized by reusing the appropriate generic reusable components populated into the RRC through different conceptual models. The generic model provides four concepts for modelling the ideas used in several conceptual models, so that a reusable component extracted through domain analysis with the aid of a conceptual model can be described in generic form or retrieved in the formalism conforming to the appropriate model.

The RE process is based on : (1) acquisition of domain dependent knowledge using natural language statements, (2) representation of the semantic contents of natural language statements through a real-world description with graphical notations, easy to understand and to manipulate, and (3) a guided and partly automated mapping of the real-world description to an object-oriented conceptual schema. Our CASE tool has an expert system architecture. These different possibilities are thus achieved by means of a rule base and a user-friendly graphical interface. It is called CARE (Computer Aided Requirements Engineering). In this paper, we introduce the different concepts used in the real-world description, namely: actor, event, entity and their associated relationships. We briefly present the object-oriented conceptual model and some of the mapping rules. We propose different criteria for deducing simple behaviour.
