Smith, Randall B., Hixon, Ronald and Horan, B. (1998): Supporting Flexible Roles in a Shared Space. In: Poltrock, Steven and Grudin, Jonathan (eds.) Proceedings of the 1998 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative work November 14 - 18, 1998, Seattle, Washington, United States. pp. 197-206. Available online

“We describe the support for roles in a shared space application and programming environment called Kansas. As in reality, the underlying physics of Kansas has no notion of role. However, roles are supported by two features of the system: the spatial character of Kansas (which enables different views for different users) and a capability system that filters user inputs. Spatial positions and capabilities can be easily changed, so the support for roles is dynamic, lightweight, and flexible. Our system is simple, and intentionally limited in scope.”

Rector, A. L., Horan, B., Fitter, M., Kay, S., Newton, P. D., Nowlan, W. A., Robinson, D. and Wilson, Aaron (1992): User Centred Development of a General Practice Medical Workstation: The PEN&PAD Experience. In: Bauersfeld, Penny, Bennett, John and Lynch, Gene (eds.) Proceedings of the ACM CHI 92 Human Factors in Computing Systems Conference June 3-7, 1992, Monterey, California. pp. 447-453. Available online

“The goal of the PEN&PAD project is to design and develop a useful and usable medical workstation for day-to-day use in patient care. The project has adopted a user centred approach and direct observations of doctors, participative design and Formative Evaluation have therefore been an integral part of the process of software development. Indeed, doctors have been involved from the earliest stages of the project. The project has focussed on British General Practitioners, but the methods which have been evolved are general. This paper describes the strategy by which doctors can be involved in the successful design and development of a medical workstation.”

Horan, B., Rector, A. L., Sneath, E. L., Goble, C. A., Howkins, T. J., Kay, S., Nowlan, W. A. and Wilson, Andrew (1990): Supporting a Humanly Impossible Task: The Clinical Human Computer Environment. In: Diaper, Dan, Gilmore, David J., Cockton, Gilbert and Shackel, Brian (eds.) INTERACT 90 - 3rd IFIP International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction August 27-31, 1990, Cambridge, UK. pp. 247-252.

“Medicine has proved a fruitful field for developing knowledge based systems. Paradoxically, the General Practice medical environment has a number of characteristics which make the introduction of such systems difficult. Attempts to produce systems for other professional users -- e.g. architects, lawyers, and executives -- have had somewhat similar experiences. However, doctors work under severe time pressure in a complex social environment. The neatly confined problems most tractable to expert systems have limited relevance to doctors' decision making in practical situations. Furthermore, doctors already have a well developed system of sharing expertise. Extensive user centred design studies have led us to propose an alternative model for augmenting doctors' performance. Rather than an expert system, we propose an intelligent human-computer environment for maintaining medical records and `throwing light' on the complex data of patient histories.”

“ Software design is the act of determining the user's experience with a piece of software. It has nothing to do with how the code works inside, or how big or small the code is. The designer's task is to specify completely and unambiguously the user's whole experience. ”

-- David Liddle, From Bringing Design to Software, edited by Terry Winograd, 1996 ”
