Abstract

KAOS, a goal-based modeling language, has been extended since its creation. Searching for existing KAOS extensions and their constructs is a task that can be the start point for requirements modeling or for the creation of new KAOS extensions. This search can be performed by using strings searches in databases or through a catalogue that supports them. This exploratory task about extensions can take a great deal of time and be prone to failure when performed without specific and adequate support. catalogues have been used successfully to bring together a body of knowledge, including knowledge of modeling language extensions. Motivated by this scenario, this work proposes a catalogue of extensions to the KAOS modeling language. The results suggest that the proposed catalogue can be used to retrieve information about extensions and their constructs correctly and that it is easy to use.
