Using Intentional Modeling to Discover the User Preferences in Existing Software Systems

چکیده
Information systems consist of many low-level components, such as source code, functioning together as a unified whole. However, higher-level requirements, such as the preferences of users concerning quality intentions of the system, are often under-documented, if documented at all. Consequently it can be highly important to elicit the intentions underlying the system for driving or justifying system acceptance in a certain business context. This paper utilizes intentional modeling to discover just such user preferences in existing software systems, in this case a system for managing of the student thesis process in a Swedish university. To accomplish this, stepwise guidelines are proposed for evaluating what user preferences an extant software system expresses. These are presented in a feature model, which is then mapped to the software systems goals, which are themselves represented in i*.

The plenty of data on the Internet has created problems for users and has caused confusion in finding the proper information. Also, users' tastes and preferences change over time. Recommender systems can help users find useful information. Due to changing interests, systems must be able to evolve. In order to solve this problem, users are clustered that determine the most desirable users, it pa...

Group tourism is one of the most important tasks in tourist recommender systems. These systems, despite of the potential contradictions among the group's tastes, seek to provide joint suggestions to all members of the group, and propose recommendations that would allow the satisfaction of a group of users rather than individual user satisfaction. Another issue that has received less attention i...
