E. Jeffrey Conklin and K. C. Burgess Yakemovic (1991), Human–Computer Interaction 6(3–4):357–391 — DOI-10.1207/s15327051hci0603&4_6
Key takeaways
Registered, not read. From the abstract only: the approach supports the design process so that a trace of the rationale is captured with little disruption of it. It describes IBIS and two implementations, the graphical gIBIS of LIT-762 and a simple indented-text notation. In an industrial field trial the indented-text form was used to capture more than 2,300 requirements and design decisions. The paper draws implications for tools that, like gIBIS, try to capture rationale nonintrusively.
