A smart office, a particular case of Building Automation, represents a physical environment enriched with sensing, actuation, communication and computation capabilities aiming at acquiring and exploiting knowledge about the environment and its inhabitants. A fundamental goal of the smart offices is to ensure a comfortable working environment as well as adapting to the circumstances related to optimizing specific variables which indicate the safety and energy efficiency of the office, as well as the health and productivity of its occupants. In this position paper, we illustrate a representative system by exploring emerging technologies, which presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities to research a new generation of software control systems, by supporting non-intrusive interfaces, that put the occupants at the center of the system's concerns, by focusing on comfort and well-being while still leveraging the occupants’ behaviour.]]>

Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) developers aim to narrow the gap between the level of abstraction used by domain users and the one provided by the DSL, in order to help taming the increased complexity of computer systems and real-world problems. The quality in use of a DSL is essential for its successful adoption. We illustrate how a usability evaluation process can be weaved into the development process of a concrete DSL - FlowSL - used for specifying humanitarian campaign processes lead by an international Non-Governmental Organization. FlowSL is being developed following an agile process using Model-Driven Development (MDD) tools, to cope with vague and poorly understood requirements at the beginning of the development process.]]>

Model-driven engineering relies on effective collaboration between different teams which introduces complex model management challenges. DSE Merge aims to efficiently merge model versions created by various collaborators using the search-based exploration of solution candidates that represent conflict-free merged models guided by domain-specific knowledge. In this paper, we report how we systematically evaluated the efficiency of the DSE Merge technique from the user point of view using a reactive experimental Software engineering approach. The empirical tests included the involvement of the intended end users (i.e. engineers), namely undergraduate students, which were expected to confirm the impact of design decisions. In particular, we asked users to merge the different versions of the same model using DSE Merge when compared to using Diff Merge. The experiment showed that to use DSE Merge participant required lower cognitive effort, and expressed their preference and satisfaction with it.]]>

PhD defence presentation including research methodology and full approach: Usability engineering aims to increase the awareness and acceptance of established usability methods among software practitioners. Awareness of the basic usability methods is expected to enhance the ease of use and acceptability of a system for a particular class of users carrying out specific tasks in a specific environment. It is claimed to affect the user’s performance and satisfaction. Further, software engineering aims to support the systematic development and is concerned with all aspects of software production. We are introducing the usability engineering methods into the Domain-Specific Language life-cycle by following model-driven development Software Language Engineering (SLE) process. Similarly to the other software qualities, usability evaluation cannot be just added by the SLE at the end of the development process. Instead, it has to be included in the development process from the beginning by accurately profiling the end-user and finding the right definition of the problem. The idea is to support usability evaluations, expressed as regular expert evaluator activities, in the SLE, backed by a Usability Software Engineering Modeling Environment conceptual framework that promotes the iterative user-centred evaluation approach.]]>
