Markus Nick's experience feedback loop model provides the business process integration of experience management and has self-learning-properties. He has systematically refined this model to provide design patterns for experience management systems. Furthermore, he has developed engineering and evaluation methods for experience management systems. All these have been validated in more than 10 applications with customers/partners.

Applications are in various fields: production, assisted living, software engineering, project management.
