“…This leads to their search of a reusable component in the first place. There is evidence that some application domain knowledge on the developer's side may be helpful [6,26] to the ultimate outcome to reuse or not to reuse. Indeed, this is not too surprising as this may lower the cognitive costs involved in reuse.…”

The process of assessing the suitability of reuse of a software component is complex. Indeed, software systems are typically developed as an assembly of existing components. The complexity of the assessment process is due to lack of clarity on how to compare the cost of adaptation of an existing component versus the cost of developing it from scratch. Indeed, often pursuit of reuse can lead to excessive rework and adaptation, or developing suites of components that often get neglected. This paper is an important step towards modelling the complex reuse assessment process. To assess the success factors that can underpin reuse, we analyze the cognitive factors that belie developers' behavior during their decision-making when attempting to reuse. This analysis is the first building block of a broader aim to synthesize a framework to institute activities during the software development lifecycle to support reuse.

“…The MAS as sub-field of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) aims to provide construction principles of a complex system involving several agents and coordination mechanisms for behaviours of the independent agents. Therefore, the MAS approach also can fulfil the user needs and meet the user's requirements, which can be very complex (Al-azawi and Ayesh 2013), for instance peer-to-peer community based searching systems (Beydoun et al 2011), and supply chain management (Xu et al 2011).…”

The Jakarta Energy Planning Process (JEPP) is expected to be a successful template for other provinces in Indonesia. However, JEPP consists of a complex set of interrelated activities. These activities are fraught with difficulties and errors, including incorrectness, inconsistency, incompleteness, and redundancy in the process under which the Jakarta energy planning is undertaken. This paper aims to identify complexity issues in JEPP with the aim to alleviate these complexities using Agent-Oriented Analysis (AOA). This research uses the Design Science Research (DSR) method and towards the analysis employs seven Agent-Based Modellings (ABMs), including goal model, role model, organisation model, interaction model, environment model, agent model, and scenario model. The research consists of five stages: the synthesis of a preliminary knowledge analysis framework, the identification of complexity issues, recommendation synthesis, and finally the development of the complete knowledge analysis framework. While the analysis undertaken in this paper focuses on Jakarta, the developed knowledge analysis framework should be useful for energy planners in other regions, and research communities in general who are involved in such endeavours in developing complex planning processes.

Resumen: Las metodologías de desarrollo de ontologías usadas como un artefacto de software aún constituyen un campo abierto de investigación. Esto se debe a la inmadurez de las metodologías actuales; donde las más reconocidas se basan en UML por ser éste un lenguaje maduro para los ingenieros de software. Trabajos recientes proponen el mapeo de expresiones SBVR a sentencias ontológicas como técnica de desarrollo, pero hasta el momento existe sólo un estudio empírico que compara técnicas basadas en SBVR y UML. El presente trabajo analiza la factibilidad técnica del mapeo SBVR a OWL 2 presentando una primera réplica diferenciada del experimento original variando los enfoques considerados y el tamaño y composición de las unidades experimentales, comparando técnicas de desarrollo basadas en SBVR y ODM. Los resultados obtenidos permiten sostener la factibilidad técnica de los mapeos SBVR a OWL 2, como una técnica de desarrollo de ontologías por ingenieros de software.Palabras-clave: evaluación empírica; experimento; desarrollo de ontologías; mapeo; regla de negocio Empirical evaluation of business rules mappings for ontology development Abstract:The methodologies for the development of ontologies aimed to be used as software artifacts remain to be an open research area. Although the most widely recognized are rooted on UML given the acceptance of that language in the community of software engineering, none of them are fully mature. Recent works propose the mapping of SBVR expressions to ontology statements as a building technique, but just an empirical study comparing SBVR and UML-rooted techniques has been performed until now. This work analyzes the technical feasibility of SBVR to OWL 2 mappings by depicting a first differentiated replication of the original experiment varying the treatments, the size and composition of the experimental units, and comparing the performance of SBVR and ODM-based techniques. The findings allow sustaining the technical feasibility of the SBVR to OWL 2 mappings as an ontology development technique able to be applied by the software engineering community.
