Abstract
Recently, many research efforts in software engineering have been focused on integrating the organizational modeling in the software production process. The objective of these approaches is to use the organizational needs as the starting point for the generation of the information system, allowing us to assure that the functionality of the information system adequately corresponds to the tasks that are executed in the business. However, one of the principal problems of the current research work in this field is the lack of a methodological approach to isolate the relevant information to be automated by the information system. This lack is a real obstacle to producing specification of information systems from organizational models, due to the non-existence of a mechanism to filter out the irrelevant tasks. In this paper, a methodological approach for isolating and formally specifying the relevant information of an organizational model represented in Tropos Framework is presented. By doing this, we go a step further in the process of including business modeling as a key piece in the software production process.
