This paper elaborates on some of the fundamental contributions made
by John Mylopoulos in the area of Requirements Engineering. We specifically
focus on the use of goal models and their soft goals for reasoning about alternative
options arising in the requirements engineering process. A personal account
of John=s qualitative reasoning technique for comparing alternatives is provided
first. A quantitative but lightweight technique for evaluating alternative options
is then presented. This technique builds on mechanisms introduced by the
qualitative scheme while overcoming some problems raised by it. A meeting
scheduling system is used as a running example to illustrate the main ideas
