Intentional Modelling Language (IML) Definitions IM Focuses on motivations rather than behaviours of a System. Uses of IM Requirements Modelling, Analysis, Elaboration, and Specification. Joshua C.

Intentional Modelling Language (IML) Definitions IM Focuses on motivations rather than behaviours of a System. Explains the Why instead of What of a System. Uses of IM Requirements Modelling, Analysis, Elaboration, and Specification. Checking the completeness of a Requirements Specification Joshua C.

Intentional Modelling Language (IML) Definitions IM Focuses on motivations rather than behaviours of a System. Explains the Why instead of What of a System. Uses intentional concepts such as Goals, and Actors for Requirements Modeling. Uses of IM Requirements Modelling, Analysis, Elaboration, and Specification. Checking the completeness of a Requirements Specification Provides alternatives to choose from, during Systems design Joshua C.

Limitations with Current Approach Intentional Elements are fragmented across IML. Joshua C. Nwokeji, Tony Clark, Balbir Barn (Middlesex University, London) A Proposal for Consolidated Intentional Modelling Language July 2, 2013 4 / 13

Limitations with Current Approach Intentional Elements are fragmented across IML. Lack of support for detailed requirement analysis. Joshua C. Nwokeji, Tony Clark, Balbir Barn (Middlesex University, London) A Proposal for Consolidated Intentional Modelling Language July 2, 2013 4 / 13

Proposed Solution/Contribution CIML Joshua C. Nwokeji, Tony Clark, Balbir Barn (Middlesex University, London) A Proposal for Consolidated Intentional Modelling Language July 2, 2013 5 / 13

Proposed Solution/Contribution CIML A richer but less cumbersome language Joshua C. Nwokeji, Tony Clark, Balbir Barn (Middlesex University, London) A Proposal for Consolidated Intentional Modelling Language July 2, 2013 5 / 13

Proposed Solution/Contribution CIML A richer but less cumbersome language Supports detailed requirement analysis Joshua C. Nwokeji, Tony Clark, Balbir Barn (Middlesex University, London) A Proposal for Consolidated Intentional Modelling Language July 2, 2013 5 / 13

Proposed Solution/Contribution CIML A richer but less cumbersome language Supports detailed requirement analysis Provide a means to check completeness with respect to Actors, Goals, and Obstacles.
