Abstract

Within information systems development business modelling is often used to structure goal decomposition and goal satisfaction. Business modells serve as a framework for a concrete information systems project. However, the concept of goal is not explicit in the leading business reference models.

In this paper we show how goals can be used to drive the modelling process. Goals are not only used as a starting point of development but serve as criteria to evaluate actions and decisions throughout the design.

We show how business and goal models can be integrated using a common process meta model. An environment to support decision making in the business modelling process has been developed to demonstrate our approach.
