Workflow technology has reached a reasonable degree of maturity, with a number of both research prototypes and commercial systems available. However, methodological issues have received little attention, and WF developers often have to face the WF development process with neither a methodological support nor a global view of the process. In this paper, we introduce a requirements engineering la...

Organizations of today are becoming ever more focused on their business processes. This has resulted in an increasing interest in business process patterns, which can be used in order to understand where from one can adopt best practices, or how to build computer systems supporting business processes. However, to fully exploit patterns, they need to be defined in a structured, and even formal w...

Capitalizing and diffusing experience about multiagent systems are two key mechanisms the classical approach of methods and tools can’t address. Our hypothesis is that, among available techniques that collect and formalise experience, design patterns are the most able technique allowing to express the agent concepts and to adapt itself to the various MAS developing problems. In this paper, we p...

To give a consistent and more valuable property on models, model-driven processes should be able to reuse the expert knowledge generally expressed in terms of patterns. We focus our work on the design stage and on the systematically use of design patterns. Choose a good design pattern and ensure the correct integration of the chosen pattern are non trivial for a designer who wants to use them. ...

Patterns should be incorporated in a software system in an explicit form so that they will be known to subsequent developers. In order to support pattern application, two basic requirements should be fulfilled: traceability and visibility. In our method, design patterns are represented as design components that may by placed in the library of pattern prototypes. From a prototype, an instance ca...

A precondition for reusability in software development is the existence of reusable resources. The number of reusable resources is limited owing to a de nite lack of systematic methods for producing reusable information. It is this de ciency which prevents e ective software reuse within a collaborative environment. To address this problem, a new methodology for supporting the collaborative deve...

Existing frameworks for biophilic design have similar strategies and attributes as useful checklists designers; however, the focus has been on adults rather than children, there remains need more guidance related to school by extension. The application of biophilia would be a resolution in schools because its impact children’s health well-being, which important since pandemic started; it quite ...
