Integrating formal and diagrammatic techniques in requirements capture and early system design
(University of Hertfordshire, 1994)
The process of design in software engineering is a complex one. Decisions made in the design stage have far reaching, and sometimes devastating, effects on subsequent development work. Adopting a user-centred approach to ...
The role of graphical representations in early design and requirements specification
(University of Hertfordshire, 1994)
This report describes some initial investigations into the role of diagrams in early system design and specification. This early design and specification work is of critical importance to the success of the final product ...
An application of task analysis to the development of a generic office reference model
(University of Hertfordshire, 1994)
The roles of task analysis in the software engineering life cycle are considered and a method is described which is suitable for capturing the high level communication tasks in offices. The contribution of this method to ...
MODEMA - a knowledge based browsing system to facilitate the employment of people with disabilities
(University of Hertfordshire, 1994)
This paper describes the stages of the MODEMA project which have been carried out to establish the user requirements for a computer system and to implement a prototype version. Sections describe the Market and User Analysis, ...
Towards usability guidelines for multimedia systems
(University of Hertfordshire, 1994)
The advent of technology which supports the concurrent presentation of information through a range of different media has raised new issues relating to the design of usable systems. While previous work in the areas of both ...
A knowledge extraction approach for capturing dispersed knowledge and its application to the modelling of working environments for people with disabilities
(University of Hertfordshire, 1994)
This paper further develops the Generic Reference Model Approach to modelling working environments by describing a method of knowledge extraction which is suitable for use by non-expert practitioners in a variety of ...
Multicultural issues in the development of a Pan-European knowledge based system
(University of Hertfordshire, 1994)
This paper explores the issues involved in the development of a knowledge based system targeted for use across Europe. It draws on the experiences of the multi-national team involved in the MODEMA project, addressing issues ...
An integrated approach to the development of advice systems to support learning and domain based information retrieval
(University of Hertfordshire, 1994)
We present a method for developing advice systems. The focus is on allowing users to access information about large, ill-defined domains using their existing knowledge and understanding of those domains. The method relies ...
Validating knowledge models across multinational boundaries
(University of Hertfordshire, 1994)
The issue of validation in knowledge engineering has always been problematic and approximate. The requirements of the Modema project create even greater problems for the validation process. This paper reviews existing ...
User and designer centred issues in the development of a multimedia exhibition guide
(University of Hertfordshire, 1994)
This paper decribes the development of a multimedia exhibition guide using a User Centred Design approach. Problems with the gathering, capture and integration of data on disparate media using a variety of software and ...
