The chapter presents a precedent-oriented approach to conceptually experimental activity in collaborative designing the complex systems with software. The efficiency of such work can be essentially increased if a human part of the work will be fulfilled with an orientation on using the precedents' models reflected the units of an occupational experience. In described case, interactions of any designer with a computer are organized and implemented as interactions between the designer and an “intellectual processor” as a role played by the same designer. Such version of the human-computer activity involves real-time combining “units” of the natural experience with its models. In solving the project task, this combining is brought under conceptual experimenting understood as an automated thought experimenting. The offered approach is evolved till an instrumental system that supports conceptual experimenting as a very useful form of computerized activity based on experiential human-computer interactions.

In this chapter, we introduce a highly expressive, self-contained reflective meta-model of object-process methodology (OPM). OPM enables universal system modeling based on the notions of processes that transform objects. Extending the object-oriented approach, which views processes as residents of objects, OPM provides for the existence of stand-alone processes that can represent transformations in complex systems such as businesses, aircrafts or organisms. A system modeling and development methodology, which is a combination of a language for expressing the universal (or domain) ontology and an approach for developing systems that uses this language, can be expressed in OPM using objects, processes and links among them. Through the reflective OPM meta-model, we demonstrate the expressive power of OPM and its applicability as a universal tool for architecting systems that involve structure and dynamics in a highly, intertwined manner.

The article presents the results of the research activity carried out within the framework of the European project H2020 REFLOW, which aims to build an integrated approach for the development of innovative participatory practices dedicated to urban circular metabolisms. As a result of the survey conducted on the application of collaborative models for the urban circular economy, it emerged that there is no shared operational strategy that can be adopted for the circular development of complex systems, such as cities. Based on this premise, this paper offers a new perspective on how to build and validate a transitional pathway for the development of circular cities through the adoption of a design-oriented approach that orchestrates different resources and capacities.

The paper offers a new programming paradigm, which implements CAD methods in programming, The level of encapsulation in model-oriented programming is higher than in the object-oriented approach. The key features of the MO-programming are declarative style (no imperative programs), and focusing on the distributed and high-performance calculations. The method proposed is based on the structural theory of multi-component complex systems, and is applicable for a rather wide class of tasks including the elaboration of simulation models of such systems.

Abstract. The European Diploma in Psychology defines a common European standard for the competences required to practice as a psychologist. This paper describes how that standard was developed and defined, and why it was considered important to bring together the traditional input-based specification of professional competence, in terms of curriculum and training course content, with a more outcome-oriented approach that focuses on the competences that a professional psychologist needs to demonstrate in practice. The paper addresses three specific questions. What are the competences that a psychologist should possess? Are these competences the same for all areas of practice within professional psychology? How can these competences be assessed?
