SoD-TEAM: Monitoring in Support of Design Science Principles

通过维护或更新的软件演化需要软件行业产品生命周期中最大的努力。随着业界希望更好地响应客户需求，这一努力正在增加。大规模定制及其相关理论为生产高质量、低成本、大批量生产的工艺产品提供了指导。然而，设计理论，没有提供指导购买后的定制，需要软件的演变。该项目通过解决如何保持软件应用程序的行为符合需求，为设计科学做出贡献。 需求监控（ReqMon）在这项研究中采取的方法提供了指导，在什么时候和什么方面的软件应该通过动态监控个人用户的goals.Assistive技术（AT），支持个人的残疾人，如认知障碍（CI），是那些需要个性化的软件的先锋。在使用AT期间监测个人用户目标可以通过为临床医生和设计人员提供必要和及时的反馈来减轻AT的普遍放弃，以持续适应和重新设计软件密集型AT。一个新的，个性化的设计科学是必要的，以改善AT系统的设计，使用，功能和稳定性，以帮助大量和不断增长的人口，需要AT充分参与society.This研究正在开发用户目标监控工具和理论，支持动态个性化AT具体，更普遍的软件进化。这项研究将提供两个贡献。首先，监控方法提供了一个近似的解决方案，以了解软件用户的动态变化的需求。第二，大众个性化软件开发（MPSD）理论提供了一个框架，用于分析大众市场中的持续个性化设计。MPSD提出了数字产品购买后定制的策略。

Software evolution, through maintenance or updates, requires the greatest effort in the software industry's product life-cycle. This effort is increasing with the industry's desire to be more responsive to customer needs. Mass customization, and related theories, provides guidance for producing high quality, low cost, mass-produced craft products. The design theories, however, provide no guidance for post-purchase customization, as required of software evolution. This project contributes to a Science of Design by addressing how to keep a software application's behavior in line with the requirements. The Requirements Monitoring (ReqMon) approach taken in this research provides guidance on when and what aspects of software should be evolved by dynamically monitoring individual user goals.Assistive technologies (AT), which support individuals with disabilities such as cognitive impairments (CI), are in the vanguard of those that require individually personalized software. Monitoring individual user goals during their use of AT may mitigate the commonplace abandonment of AT, by providing clinicians and designers the necessary and timely feedback for continuous adaptation and redesign of software-intensive AT. A new, personalized design science is needed to improve the design, use, function and stability of AT systems to assist the large and growing population of individuals that required AT to fully participation in society.This research is developing user goal monitoring tools and theory in support of dynamically personalizing AT specifically, and software evolution more generally. This research will offer two contributions. First, the monitoring method provides an approximate solution to understanding the dynamically changing needs of software users. Second, the mass-personalized software development (MPSD) theory provides a framework for analyzing continuously personalized designs in mass markets. MPSD suggests strategies for post-purchase customization of digital products.
