Question-answer reflection of an operational space in conceptual designing the family of software intensive systems

This study is bound with a rational management of experience that is used in a design company for developing the software intensive systems (SISs). The approach applied in the study is based on the creation of a precedent-oriented Experience Base the units of which are built by designers when they conceptually solve the project tasks. The specificity of way-of-working used by designers is a reflection of operational space (processes, people and products) on specialized question-answer memory (QA-memory). QA-memory with its cells is intended for registering the conceptual content of reflected units with taking into account the semantics of their textual descriptions. Reflections open the possibility for conceptual experimenting with units of designers´ behavior in the instrumental environment based on question-answering. Realization of the approach promotes increasing the successfulness of designing.
