The outcome and quality of design decisions highly depend on the knowledge reflected during decision-making. Typically, making design decisions is not one singular action.Instead, developers discuss and cooperate during requirements engineering, design and implementation of a system to make and adapt design decisions. This decision-making process is influenced by different decision-making strategies,...
Although Group Support Systems (GSSs) have been studied and developed for many years, they are not widely used in practice. One of the challenges of using GSSs is that extensive knowledge and expertise are needed in order to design effective collaboration processes. Research has sought to make this knowledge available to practitioners by introducing modules of collaboration called thinkLets, however,...
Decision-makers in emergencies usually need supports of background knowledge and information for decision-making support. Emergency documentation can partially provide such supports through its effective reorganization according to various incident scenarios. This paper aims at constructing emergency ontology to support decision-making directly from such emergency documentation. Borrowing ideas from...
This paper presents a course model for teaching component-based software development (CBSD) in the software engineering undergraduate curriculum to deepen and broaden student comprehension of component software. All hands-on lab practices are designed with open-source software tools. The course endows students the precious experiences of making design decisions via comparative study, risk analysis,...
Current fashion systems to interconnect large software architectures are moving toward SOA based solutions. This new paradigm for designing system can be improved, in our opinion, by using semantics. Semantics can a play a main role in boosting interoperability thanks to current technologies to express knowledge and to describe semantic Web services (SWS). This paper tackles the provision of a Software...
