summaryThe last fifteen years have seen the rise of a new phase in software development which is concerned with the acquisition, modelling and analysis of stakeholder purposes ("goals") in order to derive functional and non-functional requirements. This phase is founded on the concepts of goal, actor as well as inter-actor dependencies. We review the history of ideas and research results for this new phase and sketch on-going research on the topic. Specifically, we discuss the Tropos methodology that uses these concepts to support all phases of software development. The presentation includes some of our on-going work on Tropos. The research reported is the result of collaborations with colleagues at the Universities of Toronto and Trento.
