Day-to-day working activities have been heavily altered by COVID-19 pandemic, forcing a transition from traditional on-site work to on-line telework across the whole world. It has become much harder to efficiently organise, guide and evaluate employee’s work. There are different factors that can influence “work from home” quality, and many of these affect such work negatively. A set of relevant methods and tools should be developed which could improve this situation. The goal of the study is to summarise related background of this problem and to propose an approach to overcoming this problem. To achieve the goal, design engineer’s work is evaluated in an appropriate environment (e.g., AutoCAD, etc.) using automated analysis and visualization of IS auditing data.

-This paper propose the approach for integrating SPEM modeling tools with the Query/View/Transformation (QVT) tools using Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF). The aim of tool integration is to support the adoption of Model Driven Architecture within the organizations, which currently use "traditional" software development approaches. The software development process lifecycle of organization is supposed to be expressed with the help of OMG SPEM language. The approach presented in the paper is based on the model-level integration using EMF based interfaces, which will help to link the MOF based Ecore models with the QVT transformation tools. The outcomes of the work are: (i) the design of EMF based tool integration, (ii) solution prototype for Eclipse environment (iii) QVT Relations transformation rules. Model transformations are performed using mediniQVT tool, which is able to operate with the models expressed as Ecore metamodels and provides debugging features and transformation rules tracing. The QVT Relations transformations are applied to the source model, which corresponds to the "traditional" software development lifecycle. The outcome of such unidirectional transformation is the new software development process, which corresponds to the modeldriven software development process. The generated target model is SPEM compliant, and can be imported into the external tool supporting SPEM models in Ecore.

Remote (or hybrid remote) work is currently becoming more and more trending. This happened in recent years, driven by technological advancements and the global COVID-19 pandemic. This model of work offers immense opportunities for employers and employees, such as increased flexibility, improved work-life balance, and reduced commute time. However, the shift to remote work also comes with its own set of challenges and complexities. The paper describes the results of the research, which specifies data for the approbation of the method for calibrating the efficiency of remotely working employees and observing the dynamics of work productivity in an experimental environment developed during this research. The method offered for efficiency calibration supposes to use data regarding workers’ activities according to business domain.

This paper proposes a solution on how to adopt software development process and make it compliant with the Model Driven Architecture by OMG. Process modeling languages helps to formalize the knowledge about the software development life cycle expressed in tasks, activities, phases, workflows and roles. SPEM (Software Process Engineering Meta-Model) is OMG standard used to describe a software development process within an organization. The proposed solution is to transform any so called "traditional" software development life cycle model into the model-driven with the help of model transformations written in Query/View/Transformation (QVT) language. This approach has been partially approbated in one of the Latvian IT companies. Nikulsins V.
