underpin the decision-making process through the human-computer interactions,

]:
(1)
Human-to-human: teaching, research, thinking and defining what to consider.
(2)
Human-to-computer: specifying the problem in order to find appropriate
service/application.

Computer-to-computer:

(4)
Computer-to-human: feedback through graphical/textual display of processed
information.
The problem of combining/integrating different software tools to solve multi-
disciplinary problems is faced with the increase in complexity of the involved data
models (Fig.
1.1
).
Thus, we need appropriate software development tools and applications, which
can enable the reuse and impose the correct usage of the inherent knowledge, con-
tained, not only within the software tools, but also used by the experts employing
them, when proposing new solutions. As described in [
13
], we have to advance our
research in such direction, by introducing knowledge (ontology) concepts for the
new software solutions, providing intelligent execution and treatment of the involved
