	Goal-Question-Metric (GQM) Approach
		Goals identify what we want to accomplish; questions, when answered, tell us whether we are meeting the goals or help us understand how to interpret them; and the metrics identify the measurements that are needed to answer the questions and quantify the goal.
		Measurement goals direct the alignment of measurement activity with the business goals (project level and organization level) of the organization and, as such, guide all subsequent activity of the GQM process, so it is important to focus on them.
		Although a GQM team (or specialist) typically leads the goal definition initiative, all project team members should be consulted for two reasons, (1) to solidify their understanding of the goals and (2) to optimize their motivation to reach the goals.

	Goal Driven Requirements Engineering Overview — Lamswww
		Goals can be refined into sub-goals by asking how these goals should be achieved while super goals are found by asking why a certain goal is sought [van Lamsweerde 2000].
		Maintenance goals are those goals which are satisfied while their target condition remains constant or true.
		Goal obstruction yields sufficient obstacles for the goal to be violated; the negation of such obstacles yields necessary preconditions for the goal to be achieved."

	Goal-driven Modeling
		Goals describe the state of objects or data that a behavior is intended to achieve.
		Goals are a specific kind of postcondition describing the desired result, not how the result is achieved.
		Goals are able to bridge the gap between operations, their parameters, and their methods, because goals are constraints on behavior that are expressed in a purely object-centric way.

	Goal-Driven Learning
		People appear to direct learning towards concepts relevant to their goals -- by explaining the cause of their failure, and thereby noticing the relevant board features (e.g., the opposing knight that was simultaneously threatening your King and Queen) while ignoring the irrelevant (e.g., the three pawns in the second row).
		Taking learning goals into account is one essential step, and it is difficult to imagine a future for machine learning or cognitive science in which this does not play a central role.
		The importance of learner goals is supported by computational machine learning models, which provide functional arguments for goal-based focusing of learner effort, and from psychological evidence for the importance of student goals in educational settings.

	3.2 Event and Goal Driven Behavior
		This is a key feature for implementing a periodic monitoring through a set of situation driven procedures while refining and executing a plan as provided by the planner.
		The notion of goal in PRS is rather strong as it really represents an objective the interpreter tries to satisfy by any means, i.e.
		As a consequence, a goal is considered as failed after all procedures for each valid unification binding have been tried, and have failed.

	Goal-driven Modeling, Part II
		Other goals might use a constant or a bound variable on the right side, whereupon the goal would be to hire a particular person.
		In this case, the particular goal requested at runtime is achieved by the procedure, even if the other declared goals are not achieved in that runtime scenario.
		The idea is due to Odell, who observes that the connections between goal invocations are equivalent to state machine transitions in which the fulfillment of a goal by the first step triggers the transition to the next step [8].

	GOObiz - Goal Oriented Business
		Goal Cases offer to business experts locations where they describe their needs from the system without considering initially actor / system interactions (use cases) that realize these requirements.
		Such a realization of goal cases with their participants (actors, workers, entities) may be represented by activity diagrams (see steps 4 and 5, described later).
		Goal classes (GOOs) and components of goal cases are illustrated respectively using stereotyped UML components and packages.

	JOT: Journal of Object Technology - How to align IT with the changes using UML, Birol Berkem
		Goal cases are described by grouping courses of actions (behaviours of the system) that support a given goal.
		Notice that potential participants and use cases that have to participate to the realisation of goal cases may also be found in the step 4 of the GDDP that focuses on the potential realisation scenarios for achieving business goals.
		After their unit testing, use case and goal case components are plugged into appropriate structures of the architectural backbone of the system for their integration test with the other components of the system.The figure below illustrates the plug-in of the previous components into the system architecture using a simple “plug and play” mechanism.

	Artificial Intelligence in games (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The goal driven approach is inherently different from the event driven although an event driven engine can be used to feed goals to a goal driven engine.
		The leaking buckets approach is a mix between the event driven and the goal driven approaches.
		While the AI players themselves are using a goal based engine that deals with decisions such as what to build and where to build it and moving units, the units themselves are controlled by an event based engine (which of course tells the goal based engine about attacks etc).

		A goal case is a set of requirements (behaviours for the system) that belong to (or support) a given goal.
		Goal cases are described by grouping courses of actions (behaviors of the system) that support the corresponding goal.
		A goal amplifies a vision (an overall image of what the organization wants to be or become) - that is, it indicates what must be satisfied on a continuing basis to effectively attain the vision.

	Agile Project Planning: Goal Driven User Interface Design
		Stagger the design and implementation cycles so that the team analyzes the user's goals and does sketches and mockups of the UI in Iteration 1, to be coded in Iteration 2.
		I believe that understanding user goals is critical, and a great time saver before the major coding begins on a project.
		But goal analysis, especially when the user interface is sensitive (repetitive use applications, those that need to be very easy to learn, etc.) can be time well spent.

	The Purpose-Driven Pet Owner, Part II: When Process Overshadows Purpose
		Thus in the research realm, it is far more commendable to fulfill required process and not reach one's goal than to reach one's goal without fulfilling the required process.
		Consequently in both veterinary medicine and training, and although we say the goal is to meet the animal's needs in the most energy-efficient way possible, this is often secondary to providing a people-pleasing process.
		If we see fulfilling a certain process as the goal rather than meeting the animal's needs, rather than working together, we and our pets can be working against each other.

	Making Web Advertisements Work (Alertbox)
		Web users are highly goal-driven, and ads that interfere with their goals will be ignored.
		Each user has a goal -- perhaps it is to learn about digital cameras, perhaps to purchase a book.
		But if you do, it will simply be ignored because it isn't part of the goal: users now want to read the news, or do whatever it is that initially drew them to the site, and advertisements -- no matter how enticing or relevant to users' other interests -- will be ignored.

	Goal-Driven Learning
		Goal-driven learning refers to the process of using the overall goals of an intelligent system to make decisions about when learning should occur, what should be learned, and which learning strategies are appropriate in a given context.
		This focusing process may take place at any decision point during learning---for example, when determining what to learn, selecting a bias, pruning the space of theories to be considered, or generating experiments for data gathering.
		The symposium brought together researchers from diverse research areas to discuss issues in how learning goals arise, how they affect learner decisions of when and what to learn, and how they guide the learning process.

	Counterfactuals in Perspective
		In a sense, all human behavior is goal driven.
		It makes sense to have a fundamental grammatical structure that describes the relationship between two states of affairs, one of which is a goal and another which is a prerequisite or sub-goal.

	Gap-climbing fruit flies reveal components of goal-driven behaviors (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Studying the underlying control principles and neuronal circuits in invertebrates rather than in mice or cats involves fewer ethical problems and is less-expensive research.
		Using noninvasive neurogenetic techniques for the analysis of the underlying motor-control system, Pick and Strauss showed that in order to reach a goal, flies compose complex motor patterns from different behavioral subunits.
		In their genetic analysis, the researchers found mutant flies with defects specifically in deciding whether to cross, another group of mutants performing the correct motor program at a wrong position, and still another group of mutants performing climbing actions at the correct position but without one of the three motor components.

		Abstract: We propose an approach (GQM/MEDEA) for defining software engineering measures.
		The approach is driven by the experimental goals of measurement, expressed via the GQM paradigm, and a set of empirical hypotheses.
		To make the empirical hypotheses quantitatively verifiable, GQM/MEDEA supports the definition of theoretically valid measures for the attributes of interest based on their expected mathematical properties.
