Rather than proof and logical evaluation, benchmarking can be used for compliance assessment. Naturally, a set of benchmarks can shape an applied solution to compliance assessment. This paper proposes the KARB solution system, i.e. preventing compliance anomalies through rule-based benchmarking. In fact, rule-based benchmarking means evaluating an under-compliance system with its symbolic specification and using a set of symbolic rules (on the behalf of the semantic logic of evaluation). A case study was conducted to demonstrate and analyze the KARB solution. The IR-QUMA study (Iranian Survey on Quality in Messenger Apps) was then conducted to evaluate the quality of some messenger applications. According to the evaluation results, the hybrid DD-KARB method (with a combination of semantics-awareness and data-drivenness) is more effective than solo methods and can compute a somehow good estimation for the messenger application user quality scores. Therefore, DD-KARB can be considered a method for quality benchmarking in this technical context.

Building Envelope plays a vital role in reducing thermal loads, minimizing energy consumption, and ensuring sustainability. The Overall Thermal Transfer Value (OTTV) is a recognized method to evaluate the thermal performance of buildings. Building Information Modelling (BIM) has added great value to the AEC industry as an efficient tool to facilitate the building design process. With the development of BIM, more properties and material characteristics are assigned to the project design and building model that are getting more complex. Meanwhile, performing OTTV assessment and checking compliance with the assigned values involving time-consuming calculations with the possibility of ambiguity. Hence, automation of the code compliance checking process has become on-demand within the BIM environment. The objective is to develop a Visual Programming Language (VPL)-based script for automating the OTTV rule-based code compliance checking process. The applied method is to integrate BIM, VPL, and OTTV requirements; and develop a visual script that is responsible for extracting parameters from the BIM model, performing OTTV calculation, comparing output with assigned standard values of OTTV aiming answering the research question whether automated code compliance checking process can contribute to code compliance facilitation effectively. The results indicate that integrating VPL into the code compliance checking process has promising signs in facilitating the compliance checking process, increasing the accuracy and reliability of outcomes.

The problem of compliance checking and assessment is to ensure that the design or implementation of a system meets some desired properties and complies with some rules or regularities. This problem is a key issue in several human and engineering application domains such as organizational management and e-governance, software and IT industries, and software and systems quality engineering. To deal with this problem, some different approaches and methods have been proposed. In addition to the approaches such as formal methods, mathematical proofs, and logical evaluations, benchmarking can be used for compliance assessment. Naturally, a set of benchmarks can shape an applied solution to compliance assessment. In this paper we propose KARB solution system, i.e. keeping away compliance Anomalies through Rule-based Benchmarking. In fact, in our proposed method the rule-based benchmarking means evaluating the conformity of an under-compliance system to a set of rules. In this solution approach, the under-compliance system is specified symbolically (using formal and logical descriptions). Also, the desired rules are specified formally as the semantic logic in the evaluation process. After reviewing the proposed method, a case study was conducted to demonstrate and analyze the KARB solution. The IR-QUMA study (Iranian Survey on Quality in Messenger Apps) was then conducted to evaluate the quality of some messenger applications. According to the evaluation results, the hybrid DD-KARB method (with a combination of semantics-awareness and data-drivenness) is more effective than solo methods and can compute a good estimation for the messenger application user quality scores. Therefore, DD-KARB can be considered as a method for quality benchmarking in this technical context.
