Preface
The iStar workshop series is dedicated to the discussion of concepts, methods, techniques,
tools, and applications associated with i* and related approaches. Following successful
workshops in Trento, Italy (2001), London, England (2005), Recife, Brazil (2008),
Hammamet, Tunisia (2010), Trento, Italy (2011), Valencia, Spain (2013), Thessaloniki,
Greece (2014), Ottawa, Canada (2015) and Beijing, China (2016), this year, the 10th
International i* Workshop (iStar’17) was held in Essen, Germany. As with previous
editions, the objective of the workshop is to provide a unique opportunity for researchers
in the area to exchange ideas, compare notes, and forge new collaborations. This year, the
workshop was in conjunction with the 29th International Conference on Advanced
Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE'17), benefiting from our common themes and
interests shared by the two events.
As with past editions, we have tried to keep the format informal so as to maximize
interaction. Aiming at an inclusive and discussion-oriented workshop, the main criterion
for paper acceptance in iStar’17 was relevance and potential for raising discussion. A 34-
member program committee, consisting of scholars and practitioners with expertise and
interest in the field, were involved in reviewing a total of 17 complete paper submissions.
Each of the papers was reviewed by three program committee members. Of the submitted
papers, all of them were accepted for presentation in the workshop and revised versions
of the papers are included in the proceedings that follow. In the event, 12 out of the 17
accepted papers were given 30 minutes for presentation and discussion. The remaining 5
were deemed by the reviewers to be reporting work at its earlier stage and were given a
short presentation slot of 20 minutes. This has been a special edition for the 10th
anniversary of i* workshop and as such it included a keynote and two invited talks
revolving around this event. The keynote, given by Dr. Robert Darimont (CEO, Respect-
IT, Belgium) gave a perspective on using i* in industry entitled “Goal Orientation: It
Works! Feedback on 20 Years of Use in Business”. The first invited talk given by
Professor Dr. Aditya Ghose from University of Wollongong, Australia, presented the
practical applications of i* entitled “iStar in Practice: Scaling Up Model Acquisition and
Other War Stories”. The last invited talk, given by Prof. João Araújo from Universidade
Nova de Lisboa, Portugal, discusses the future path of iStar 2.0 entitled “iStar Extensions:
Looking Back and Thinking about the Future”, based on his collaborative work with Enyo
Gonçalves and Jaelson Castro. Two panels discussing the industrial adoption of i* and
the future of iStar 2.0 together with a wrap up session concluded the program.
We would like to acknowledge and thank all the authors who submit papers, they
allow iStar 2017 continue being a community reunion for sharing experiences. We would
also like to thank all the members of the Program Committee and the additional reviewers
for providing their expertise and suggesting constructive advices to improve the quality
of the submissions. Last but not least, we want to thank the organizers of the CAiSE
conference for their support.
