Practices Framework Illustrations

5.1  Denley and Long (2010) Dialectic Approach to Multidisciplinary Practice in Requirements Engineering Denley and Long use the HCI Practices Framework to develop a method that supports multidisciplinary practice in Requirements Engineering. This support for HCI practice takes the form of a dialectic process, and its associated products, which is conceptualised and then operationalised in […]

Research Framework Illustrations

3.1 Hill, Long, Smith and Whitefield (1993) Planning for Multiple Task Work – an Analysis of a Medical Reception Worksystem Hill et al. apply the Research Framework to research in which they model different types of plan, observed in a study of medical reception. Three types of plan were identified – task, procedure and activity plans. The […]

Design Problem Framework Illustrations

2.1 Dowell (1998) Formulating the Cognitive Design Problem of Air Traffic Management Dowell uses the HCI Design Problem Framework to formulate the cognitive design problem of Air Traffic Management. He illustrates its use in seeking a design solution to that problem. The HCI Design Problem is formulated in terms of two complimentary models. First, a […]

Discipline Framework Illustrations

1.HCI Discipline Framework Illustrations 1.1 Hill (2010) Diagnosing Co-ordination Problems in the Emergency Management Response to Disasters Hill uses HCI Engineering Frameworks to distinguish long-term HCI knowledge, as principles supporting design from short-term HCI knowledge, as methods and models, expressed as design-oriented frameworks supporting design. The Discipline Framework of HCI is explicit and takes the […]

Dowell and Long (1989) – Summary Version

Dowell and Long (1989) Summary Version The EU Conception of the HCI Engineering general design problem is expressed informally as: ‘to design human interactions with computers for effective working.’ (C1) The EU Conception is a unitary view of a general design problem; its power lies in the coherence and completeness of its definition of the […]

Frameworks for HCI

Framework A framework is a basic supporting structure for something thought about and done. For example, social and infrastructural frameworks for urban development. The social framework supports domestic and work relations for urban development. The infrastructural framework  supports transport and communications relations for urban development. Both frameworks, however, provide a basic structure for thinking about […]

Engineering Framework Illustration: Newman (2002) – Requirements

Requirements William Newman October 21, 2002   Copyright © 2002, William Newman   Software engineering is unique in many ways as a design practice, not least for its concern with methods for analysing and specifying requirements. In other engineering design disciplines, the derivation of requirements is considered a routine matter; to the authors of engineering […]
