Taom4e and the Tropos Reasoners. Issue on the integration process.

This technical report describes an ongoing work at ITC-IRST (Distributed Intelligence research line, at SRA Division) on the development of a software infrastructure able to support the exchange of models related to the Tropos methodology between the different tool (the ones already produced and the ones that will be) focusing on this topic. This work is motivated by the fact that every tool focuses on specific activity/part of the methodology using ad hoc solution and works like an island; so it is not easy nor feasible to share knowledge and result with the other developed tools. Clearly this doesn`t allow the user to obtain the same result and the same level of interaction that could be provided by a single suite of integrated products that work happily communicating between themselves. The objective of this work is to analyze different integration scenarios and to proceed with the implementation of a software infrastructure that could limit this kind of problems.
