Abstract
The iStar 2.0 modeling language is the result of a two-year
community effort intended at providing a solid, unified basis for teaching
and conducting research with i*. The language was released with important
qualities in mind, such as keeping a core set of primitives, providing
a clear meaning for those primitives, and flattening the learning curve
for new users. In this paper, we propose a list of qualities against which
we intend iStar 2.0 to be evaluated. Furthermore, we describe an empirical
evaluation plan, which we devise in order to assess the extent
to which the language meets the identified qualities and to inform the
development of further versions of the language. Besides explaining the
objectives and steps of our planned empirical studies, we make a call for
involving the research community in our endeavor.
