“…In case of a bad recommendation, this effort may even exceed the utility of the recommended command. And, on top of this, the acceptance of recommendations requires also recipients' awareness and acknowledgement of a deficit in IDE usage, which may be unpleasant for certain developers [13].…”

“…When it comes to IDE command recommendation presentation, a few papers focus on this issue. Gasparic et al [13] designed and evaluated an ICRS GUI mock-up, which was updated, based on the user evaluation, and implemented for the purposes of another study reported by Gasparic et al [16] and also in the study reported in this paper. 2 Schmidmaier et al [10] presented a set of ideas on possible ICRS GUIs, but did not provide a comprehensive description that could lead to implementation.…”

“…The last part of the third questionnaire contained four questions that we already used in the mock-up evaluation study [13]. These questions are: which parts of the GUI are necessary and which are useful for evaluating the quality of the command recommendation; and whether some information is missing in the command recommendation presentation and which.…”

“…ICRS research community has designed, implemented, and tested several algorithms (see [7]- [12]), graphical user interfaces (GUIs) (see [13]- [15]), and even complete systems for recommending IDE commands in different settings (see [14]- [16]). However, these RSs have not been integrated in popular IDEs, yet; arguably because the accuracy and acceptance of the recommendations are still too low to enable practical usage.…”

Software developers' knowledge of integrated development environment (IDE) directly impacts on their productivity. IDE command recommender systems aim at identifying and convincingly presenting to software developers functionality that can help them to accomplish their daily tasks, without overloading them with well known or useless information. Command recommendation requires the estimation of both the utility of commands and the acceptance of the user for new command recommendations. In this paper, we focus on how and when such recommendations should be presented. We performed a long-term user study and our results show that IDE command recommendation must be presented with adequate descriptions of the commands and good usage examples. It seems that a higher frequency of recommendation notifications could be useful, but it should not be too intrusive, especially while developers are focusing on more demanding tasks. To improve recommendation acceptance rate, researchers should also focus on context-aware algorithms and tailor command recommendation timing.

“…A modern way to communicate with the electricity of the built environment is using a GUI (Gasparic et al, 2017). GUI and HMI are similar but not synonymous: GUIs are often leveraged within HMIs for visualisation capabilities.…”

Purpose This paper aims to describe how building information model (BIM) and big data can be combined in the same interface for providing new value to stakeholders, such as the property owner and user, as well as property service and workplace service companies. The research presents a new concept, which shows how the BIM can be exploited efficiently during maintenance. Design/methodology/approach Initially, existing facility management (FM) processes were investigated to find out how to digitize them and identify bottlenecks. Second, BIM’s data content was explored to identify the information that could be used to streamline FM processes. Third, the potential of the active data measured in the building was evaluated. Finally, research was undertaken to find out how constantly fluctuating information can be combined with BIM objects and what kind of added value that combination could offer. The literature review was used to support the primary contribution. In addition, the research problems were described and the basics of the research were obtained by interviews. The author has interviewed 27 professionals from several stakeholders. Findings The first finding is that the BIM can serve as a platform for building use, various services and management when it has been adequately generated during the planning and construction phases and enriched before being commissioned. The other essential finding is the theory of conditions data model (CDM), which is a technical environment that combines active data with BIM. The most important advantages of BIM in FM are as follows: • Building owner attains better user satisfaction, acquires better quality and smarter services, saves energy, ensures better indoor conditions and improves building profitability. • Service providers can develop and offer new services, speed up operations, save resources and generate more profits. • The occupant gets a better user experience, faster and higher quality services and better indoor conditions. Research limitations/implications The CDM enables to generate for the real estate and construction (RE&C) sector a novel BIM-based ecosystem with standard rules, instead of every individual operator developing his/her own unique solution for BIM use in FM. This will have an impact on the entire RE&C sector’s operating methods and will have significant financial implications in the near future. Application of this research is limited to office buildings where indoor condition measuring is undertaken continuously and where the knowledge of the use cases of spaces is available. In addition, the proper BIM in the Industry Foundation Classes format must exist. The evaluation of the validity of big data is not discussed in this article. Visualization of data and content of user interfaces will be the topic of another article by the author. This article does not deal with intricate technical details, but crucial issues are defined. Originality/value The article presents a unique method for BIM use in FM. The theory of CDM (how to combine active data with BIM) is completely new and a similar solution has not been presented earlier. The theory of the presented method will be the crucial key for BIM use and will lead worldwide commissioning. Currently, the theory is under test in the practical pilot project. The results of the project will be published in the next article.
