Email: faisal.almisned@kcl.ac.uk, jeroen.keppens@kcl.ac.uk ABSTRACT Wigmore’s charts and Bayesian networks are used to represent graphically the construction of arguments and to evalu- ate them. KAOS is a goal oriented requirements analysis method that enables the analysts to capture requirements through the realization of the business goals. However, KAOS does not have inbuilt mechanism for evaluating these goals and the inferring process. This paper proposes a method for evaluating KAOS models through the extension of Wigmore’s model with features of Bayesian networks.
