Abstract

This paper presents a Goal Oriented Approach for the Definition of a Business Process Requirement Model, taking into account the level of importance and constraints inherent in these requirements. The level of importance of a goal is the credit which the user associates to it, while constraints are non-functional needs related to that which this goal must satisfy. The approach proposed in this article revolves around four major activities: the identification of user requirements; selection of the various goals; transformation of the requirements into knowledge bits and lastly, development of the requirement model. We showed in this paper that this step enabled us to describe in an exhaustive way a business process.
