A Process for Gathering Prospective Use Cases from Business Modeling

This paper addresses a process for identifying system use cases from business models. The proposed process is comprised of four phases supported by the DoD Std 2167 A. It suggests the use of UML notation during the model elaboration. In order to verify the process, it was applied on an actual project named Amazon Integration and Cooperation for Modernization of Hydrological Monitoring, under the development of the Brazilian Aeronautics Institute of Technology (Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica - ITA). The main contributions of this paper are the proposed system use cases identification process and the validation procedure performed, comparing the obtained results with those results from a traditional approach.
