In practice, the software process is an intermediate phase for enhancement and improvements the design for different types of software products and help developers to converts the specified requirements into prototypes that implement the design into reality. The objective of this paper is to provide software developers, designers and software engineers who work in small companies with a standards-based process improvement using a procedural method technique including detailed steps for designing the small software systems into their companies. The method used in this paper includes 1) analysis four different types of commonly design processes used by industry such as CMMI, conventional or software process in ISO 19759, generic and engineering design processes. 2) mapping between those four design processes. 3) collect the dispersed design concepts proposed by those four processes. 4) proposed a sustainable procedural method of software design process improvements 5) Illustration of the applicability of the proposed approach using A template-based implementation. The primary result of this study is a guideline procedure with detailed steps for software design process improvements to help and guide developers in small companies to analyze and design a small software scales with limited cost and duration. In conclusion, this paper proposed a method to improve the design process for different kinds of the software systems using a template-based implementation to reduce the cost, effort and time needed in the implementation phase in small companies. The scientific implication behind a template-based implementation helps the system and software engineering to use this template easily in their small companies; because most of the time those engineering developers are responsible for analyzing, designing, implementing and testing their software systems during the whole software life cycle.

“…MSPs are sociotechnical constructs; they are both technical platforms and market intermediaries. Thus, describing an MSP requires both a technical architecture and an ecosystem architecture (Dal Bianco et al 2014). The technical architecture consists of modules and components some of which remain stable during the platform's lifecycle, while other vary over time (Baldwin and Woodard 2009).…”

“…Boundary resources are resources through which different agents create relationships and interact with each other in order to co-create value (Eaton et al 2015). Dal Bianco et al (2014) distinguish between technical and social platform boundary resources. Typical boundary resources are Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and Software Development Kits (SDKs).…”

The paper presents the findings from a 3-year single-case study conducted in connection with the International Data Spaces (IDS) initiative. The IDS represents a multi-sided platform (MSP) for secure and trusted data exchange, which is governed by an institutionalized alliance of different stakeholder organizations. The paper delivers insights gained during the early stages of the platform's lifecycle (i.e. the platform design process). More specifically, it provides answers to three research questions, namely how alliance-driven MSPs come into existence and evolve, how different stakeholder groups use certain governance mechanisms during the platform design process, and how this process is influenced by regulatory instruments. By contrasting the case of an alliance-driven MSP with the more common approach of the keystone-driven MSP, the results of the case study suggest that different evolutionary paths can be pursued during the early stages of an MSP's lifecycle. Furthermore, the IDS initiative considers trust and data sovereignty more relevant regulatory instruments compared to pricing, for example. Finally, the study advances the body of scientific knowledge with regard to data being a boundary resource on MSPs.

“…Boundary resources are defined as "the software tools and regulations that serve as the interface for the arm's-length relationship between the platform owner and the application developer" (Ghazawneh and Henfridsson, 2013, p. 175). They play a two-fold role of platform resourcing and securing (Ghazawneh and Henfridsson, 2013), and mainly include APIs and developer support documentation (Dal Bianco et al, 2014).…”

How do mobile IoT usage patterns differ from consumer devices and across industries?RQ2. How could embedded SIM technology affect the mobile ecosystem? RQ3. How could collaboration and competition be governed in emerging consumer IoT data platforms and particularly mobile health data platforms? RQ4. How could mobile platform providers acting as mobile health data platform providers position themselves in the ecosystem of the healthcare industry?
