Achieving real-time agility and adaptation with respect to changing requirements in existing IT infrastructure can pose a complex challenge. We describe a goal-oriented approach to manage this complexity.

We offer an extended vocabulary of goal types by presenting two novel conceptions: differential goals and integral goals, which we formalize in both lin...
