The　comprehensive　syntax　of　iStar　modeling　language　allows　requirements　analysts　to　clearly　capture　stakeholder＇s　needs,　as　well　as　dependencies　among　stakeholders.　However,　such　iStar　models　cannot　be　automatically　laid　out　using　typical　layout　algorithms,　such　as　hierarchical　layout　and　circular　layout.　Thus,　constructing　and　adjusting　iStar　models　are　laborious　tasks,　especially　when　dealing　with　large-scale　models.　In　this　paper,　we　propose　a　tentative　approach　to　automatically　lay　out　iStar　models　using　a　force-based　layout　algorithm.　In　particular,　our　approach　has　been　designed　by　taking　into　account　the　syntax　of　iStar　models　in　order　to　ensure　both　neatness　and　understandability　of　resulting　models.
