TLDR
A comprehensive framework for representing and using nonfunctional requirements during the development process is proposed and evidence for the power of the framework is provided through the study of accuracy and performance requirements for information systems.Abstract:
A comprehensive framework for representing and using nonfunctional requirements during the development process is proposed. The framework consists of five basic components which provide the representation of nonfunctional requirements in terms of interrelated goals. Such goals can be refined through refinement methods and can be evaluated in order to determine the degree to which a set of nonfunctional requirements is supported by a particular design. Evidence for the power of the framework is provided through the study of accuracy and performance requirements for information systems. >read more

Goal-directed requirements acquisition
TL;DR: An approach to requirements acquisition is presented which is driven by higher-level concepts that are currently not supported by existing formal specification languages, such as goals to be achieved, agents to be assigned, alternatives to be negotiated, etc.

Tropos: An Agent-Oriented Software Development Methodology
TL;DR: The goal in this paper is to introduce and motivate a methodology, called Tropos, for building agent oriented software systems, based on the notion of agent and all related mentalistic notions, formalized in a metamodel described with a set of UML class diagrams.

The entity-relationship model: toward a unified view of data
TL;DR: A data model, called the entity-relationship model, is proposed that incorporates some of the important semantic information about the real world and can be used as a basis for unification of different views of data: the network model, the relational model, and the entity set model.
