Software Design and Engineering as a Social Process

William Stubblefield
Tania Carson

Traditionally, software engineering processes are based on a formalist model that emphasizes strict documentation, procedural and validation standards. Although this is a poor fit for multidisciplinary research and development communities, such groups can benefit from traceability and other benefits of formal processes. We have approached this dilemma through a process model derived from theories of collaborative work rather than formal process control. This paper describes this model and our experiences in applying it in software development.

 

UI Toolkit for Non-Designers in the Enterprise Applications Industry

Liang-Cheng Lin
Wai On Lee

This report describes a user interface (UI) toolkit used for prototyping by non-designers. The toolkit enables the development of standardized UI wireframes and click-through prototypes that comply with User Experience UI style guides and design specifications.

 

Evolution of a Concept: From Technology to End-User to Enterprise

Lynne Brotman Karmin
Doree Seligmann
Mike Sammon
Ed Peebles

In this report we describe our experiences designing and trialing a hands-free, context-aware, mobile communications system for enterprise workers. Our concept, inspired by a new consumer technology, was designed with a heavy focus on the end-user. Through our trial we became aware of various factors in the enterprise that impacted design and deployment.
