Summary

• Growing out of a historic workshop sponsored by IBM, this book brings together contributions from many of the leading figures in the field of human-computer interaction and object-oriented software engineering.
• The first book-length work devoted entirely to the subject of use-oriented design representations - or scenarios - it discusses an array of scenario-based design approaches and demonstrates their practical applications across the system development life cycle, from requirements analysis and software design, to documentation, training, and prototype evaluation.

Subjects

• User interfaces (Computer systems)
• System design

Bibliography (note)

• Includes bibliographical references and index.
