“…Software applications are produced and maintained by software engineers, and business processes are introduced and managed by domain experts (non-developers) who mainly understand business [1]. Software development requires interactions with domain experts, necessitating a level of agreement in describing the technical phases of development.…”

Model-driven development platforms shift the focus of software development activity from coding to modeling for enterprises. A significant number of such platforms are available in the market. Selecting the best fitting platform is challenging, as domain experts are not typically model-driven deployment platform experts and have limited time for acquiring the needed knowledge. We model the problem as a multi-criteria decision-making problem and capture knowledge systematically about the features and qualities of 30 alternative platforms. Through four industry case studies, we confirm that the model supports decision-makers with the selection problem by reducing the time and cost of the decision-making process and by providing a richer list of options than the enterprises considered initially. We show that having decision knowledge readily available supports decision-makers in making more rational, efficient, and effective decisions. The study’s theoretical contribution is the observation that the decision framework provides a reliable approach for creating decision models in software production.

“…The involvement of users would increase their sense of relativity and ownership amongst the users, which increases the user satisfaction. Several system development models involve users in developing systems like the Joint Application Development (JAD)[22] and the Rapid Application Development (RAD)[23]. However, the use of these models in the development of egovernment systems can be time-consuming, considering the number of applications and functions of this huge system.Agile approach can address the aforementioned constraints through rapid evolution and adaptation to the changes in the developmental processes.…”

It is important to consider the user participation in the development of the e-government system for ensuring that this system is free of any conceptual issues and all user expectations can be satisfied during the system deployment. Development of an e-government system can be very hard due to the presence of different stakeholders and problems included in this system. This study explains the components of e-government system and the importance of user participation in the development process. Then, user centred development methodologies are introduced and their limitations are highlighted. Following this, agile principles were proposed as a possible solution to actively engage users in e-government development while minimising the development time. The researchers also considered the issues affecting the coordination between the user requirements and expectations after the launch of the system with respect to minimising the time in applying iterations.

“…On the one hand, billions of dollars are spent annually on software products (Bhattacharya & Neamtiu, 2011) that are produced and maintained by software engineers. On the other hand, business processes are introduced and managed by stakeholders and top-level managers who principally understand businesses (Olariu et al, 2016).…”

Undertaking this Ph.D. has been a truly life-changing experience for me, and it would not have been possible to do without the support and guidance that I received from many people. The entire list of people who encouraged me during my Ph.D. is prolonged, whether within the research itself, forming a suitable environment, or even giving personal support. Probably, I will have forgotten to recall all names.First and foremost, I would like to thank Slinger Jansen. To me, Slinger was more than a supervisor. He was an inspiring and enthusiastic co-promoter who showed me the right course of action in all situations. His encouragements and optimism were indispensable to keep me motivated. Slinger taught me how to do research and then report findings correctly to scientific communities.I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Sjaak Brinkkemper. He actively supported my research and encouraged me to write down high-quality scientific papers. With a few questions, he always helped me to focus on contributions and structure my findings. Most of his remarks will be with me for my entire career as a researcher.I would like to say a special thank you to Rolf de Jong. His support, guidance, and comprehensive insights into the software engineering field have made an inspiring experience for me. And special thanks to Michiel Overeem, whose support as an experienced software engineer and an eager researcher allowed my studies to go the extra mile (sorry for all the additional work, Michiel!).Doing research and writing papers in collaboration with others was a pleasant experience as it allowed me to gain more insight and knowledge regarding what I was working on. I am profoundly grateful for my co-authors' hard work, who have not been mentioned above, and their substantial contribution to uplift the studies presented in this dissertation. Thanks, Sergio España, Jan Martijn van der Werf, Rolf de Jong, and Jacco Verkleij. I am also thankful to my motivated students who assisted me in the research projects, especially Elena Baninemeh, Andrey Krupskiy, Baharak Bakhtiari, and Mahdi Deldar. I am delighted to have worked with you, and I look forward to working with you again.My research would have been impossible without the feedback from domain experts and case study participants from various software producing organizations that participated in the research projects' evaluation phases in this dissertation.The work presented in this dissertation has been critically assessed and approved by an outstanding reading committee to whom I am more than grateful: Patricia Lago, Krzysztof Wnuk, Gabriele Keller, Bedir Tekinerdogan, and Diomidis Spinellis. I also vi Acknowledgments want to thank the numerous anonymous reviewers of the journals and conferences. Often I received constructive feedback that helped me to improve the quality of my publications.To conclude, I cannot forget to thank my parents, beloved sister, and friends for all the unconditional love and support during my Ph.D. journey.
