Agent oriented requirements engineering for a data warehouse
Manoj Kumar, Anjana Gosain, Yogesh Pal Singh · ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes · 2009
In recent years, a number of requirements engineering (RE) proposals for a data warehouse (DW) systems have been made. In the traditional/operational systems, requirements engineering has been divided into two phases: early & late requirements engineering phase. Most of the data warehouse requirements engineering (DWRE) approaches have not distinguished early requirements engineering phase from late requirements engineering phase. A very few approaches are seen in the literature that explicitly model early & late requirements for a DW. In this paper, we propose an AGDI (Agent-Goal-Decision-Information) model to support early requirements engineering issues for a data warehouse. Here, early requirements have been modeled through organization modeling and goal modeling activities as an illustration of proposed AGDI model to support decisional goals of the organization for which DW is to be built.
