The reliance on past experience is crucial to the future of software engineering. There are a number of avenues for articulating experiential knowledge, including patterns. It is the responsibility of a pattern author to ensure that the pattern is expressed in a manner that satisfies the reason for its existence. This chapter is concerned with the suitability of a pattern description for consumption by both humans and machines. For that, a pattern description model (PDM), and a pattern stakeholder model (PSM) and a pattern quality model (PQM) as necessary input to the PDM, are proposed. The relationships between these conceptual models are highlighted. The PDM advocates the use of descriptive markup for representation and suggests the use of presentation markup for presentation of information in pattern descriptions, respectively. The separation of representation of information in a pattern description from its presentation is emphasized. The potential uses of the Semantic Web and the Social Web as mediums for publishing patterns are discussed.

In Model-Driven Development (MDD) processes, models are key artifacts that are used as input for code generation. Therefore, it is very important to evaluate the quality of these input models in order to obtain high-quality software products. The detection of defects is a promising technique to evaluate software quality, which is emerging as a suitable alternative for MDD processes. The detection of defects in conceptual models is usually manually performed. However, since current MDD standards and technologies allow both the specification of metamodels to represent conceptual models and the implementation of model transformations to automate the generation of final software products, it is possible to automate defect detection from the defined conceptual models. This paper presents a quality model that not only encapsulates defect types that are related to conceptual models but also takes advantage of current standards in order to automate defect detection in MDD environments.

Faculty of Business and Management – Student Activity Information System (FBM-SAIS) was developed with an aim to manage the student activity application process effectively through the Internet. This study was conducted to determine the managerial implications of FBM-SAIS implementation to FBM, UiTM Selangor by focusing on the manpower and financial impact, as well as to determine the direct effect of SAIS Service Quality on SAIS student satisfaction. This study proposed SAIS ServiceQuality as a higher-order factor in order to determine a direct effect of SAIS Service Quality on student satisfaction towards SAIS implementation. Interviews were conducted to identify the managerial implications of student activity application process before and after SAIS implementation. Meanwhile, the quantitative data was gathered from 94 SAIS users who were FBM students through e-survey and was analyzed by using SmartPLS 3.0. The interview results showed that the implementation of SAIS did have an impact on the Faculty, such as increasing staff productivity and reducing costs. Moreover, the PLS-SEM analysis results showed that SAIS Service Quality positively influenced student satisfaction towards FBMSAIS implementation. This study provides an empirical validation of the SAIS Service Quality Model in the context of Higher Education.
