Johnson, Peter, Johnson, Hilary, Waddington, Ray and Shouls, Alan (1988): Task-Related Knowledge Structures: Analysis, Modelling and Application. In: Jones, Dylan M. and Winder, R. (eds.) Proceedings of the Fourth Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers IV August 5-9, 1988, University of Manchester, UK. pp. 35-62.

“A theoretical and methodological approach to task modelling is described, with a worked example of the resultant model. The theory holds that task knowledge is represented in a person's memory and that this knowledge can be described by a Task Knowledge Structure (TKS). The method of analysis has been developed for carrying out analyses of real world tasks. The method uses a variety of techniques for collecting information about task knowledge. A second perspective of the paper shows how a developed TKS model can be decomposed into a design for a software system to support the identified tasks within the domain of the analysis. This decompositional method uses the structure of frames to provide consistency between different levels of design decomposition.”
