Problem frames approach for e-business systems
Steven J. Bleistein · 2004
We propose a problem frames approach for e-business systems that incorporates a business strategy dimension as a means of describing the e-business problem domain. To achieve this, we employ both goal modeling and the problem frames approach. Jackson's context diagrams, which are used to represent the business model context, are integrated with goal-models to describe the complete business strategy. As a means of simultaneously decomposing both the optative and indicative parts of a requirements problem, from an abstract business level to concrete system requirements, we leverage the paradigm of projection in both approaches while maintaining traceability to high-level business objectives. We demonstrate the feasibility of our approach via a proof-of concept case study from Hie literature.
