-------------- Overview --------------
The iStar workshop series is dedicated to the discussion of concepts, methods, techniques, tools, and applications associated with i* (iStar) and related goal modeling frameworks and approaches such as Tropos, GRL and others. The iStar’23 workshop is the latest of sixteen successful editions beginning in Trento in 2002, and followed by London (2005), Recife (2008), Hammamet (2010), Trento (2011), Valencia (2013), Thessaloniki (2014), Ottawa (2015), Beijing (2016), Essen (2017), Tallinn (2018), Salvador (2019), Zürich (2020), St. John’s (2021) and Hyderabad (2022). 

As in these previous editions, the objective of the workshop is to provide a unique opportunity for researchers in the area to exchange ideas, compare notes, promote interactions, and forge new collaborations. Expected outcomes include the communication of early results and new ideas to fellow researchers for feedback, the identification of the current problems and promising future research directions and the fostering of awareness, collaboration and interoperability in the area of tool development.

The workshop features a keynote by Prof. Alistair Sutcliffe, University of Manchester, UK

In addition to its regular scientific track, to be held on Monday, Sept. 4th 2023, this edition of the i* workshop will also feature a Celebratory Symposium in honor of the author of the i* requirements modelling language, prof. Eric Yu, on the occasion of his retirement. This special event, held on Sunday, Sept 3rd 2023, will include invited presentations illustrating the impact of his work from its origins to today, and discussing future prospects of the i* family of modeling frameworks.

-------------- Submission Guidelines ------------------
We solicit one type of contribution: regular papers (6 pages max) in the new CEUR-ART single column format. We welcome technical papers, empirical evaluation and experience reports, position papers, and tool papers related to the i* framework, in English.

Submissions should provide an overview of the research objectives and describe contributions, including any related tools and evaluation experience. Contributions should outline ongoing and future work and provide key references. In particular, tool papers should include references to download information, documentation, and system features.

All submissions will be peer-reviewed and accepted works will be published in the CEUR Workshop Proceedings Serie.
