The success of designing software intensive systems (SISs) may be improved by incorporating experimentation to be part of the design process. This paper presents a scientific approach to experimentation on objects that are units of designers' behavior and is aimed at solving project tasks in conceptual design. The proposed approach is based on specifying the behavior units as precedents and pseudo-code programming of experiments' plans. Reasoning used by designers in the experiments is registered in a questionanswer form. Experimenting is supported by a specialized toolkit.INDEX TERMS Conceptual designing, designers' behavior, experience, question-answering, precedent, software intensive system.

“…Although, it can be said that YAWL is an appropriate workflow engine for pervasive environments because of the discussed characteristics, there exist criticisms about YAWL and workflow patterns (Börger, 2011) and the rebuttal (W. M. P. Aalst & ter Hofstede, 2012) about these criticisms. Börger (Börger, 2011) indicates that workflow patterns are not well founded and they do not have empirical validation.…”

In this thesis study, a framework offering people help and guidance for organizing their daily activities is proposed. This framework allows users to model their daily activities in the form of workflows. Due to the dynamic nature of pervasive environments, workflows are enabled to be adaptable at runtime according to context information collected in pervasive environments. A workflow engine is used for modeling and management of workflows and a separate rule engine with Complex Event Processing (CEP) capability is incorporated into the framework for both enhancing workflow adaptation and execution and for rule-based context reasoning. The adaptation model in the framework allows modeling activities in a hierarchical manner, from high level abstract activities to more detailed ones. Event-driven Architecture (EDA) is utilized for loosely coupled interaction between the workflow engine and the rule engine, allowing these engines, other context sources and userlevel applications to exchange data among each other. Since workflow engines are sufficiently complex, EDA allows incorporation of context information into the workflow models without modifying the workflow language. A higher automation level than the level supported by workflows is proposed by processing events in pervasive environments using CEP. A prototype implementation is developed and the framework is evaluated with some real life examples and experimental tests demonstrating its applicability.

Abstract-Software process modelling has recently become an area of interest within both academia and industry. It aims at defining and formalizing the software process in the form of formal rigorous models. A software process modelling formalism presents the language or notation in which the software process is defined and formalized. Several software process modelling formalisms have been introduced lately, however, they have failed to gain the attention of the industry. One major objective of formalizing the software process that has ever been an issue of research, is to enhance the understanding and communication among software process users. To achieve this aim, a modelling formalism has to offer a common language to be wellunderstood by all software process users. BPMN presents a graphical-based widely accepted standard formalism, mainly aimed at business process modelling. This paper illustrates a software process modelling formalism based upon BPMN specifications for representing the software process, named as, SP2MN. The paper also demonstrates the applicability and evaluation of the proposed formalism by; utilizing the standard ISPW-6 benchmark problem, in addition to comparing the expressiveness of SP2MN with similar software process modelling formalisms. The evaluations prove that SP2MN contributes in enhancing software process formalization. SP2MN, accordingly, can be used as a standard software process modelling formalism.
