Jones, John (1986): MacCadd, An Enabling Software Method Support Tool. In: Harrison, Michael D. and Monk, Andrew (eds.) Proceedings of the Second Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers II August 23-26, 1986, University of York, UK. pp. 132-154.

“Designers of computer hardware have had the benefit of computer aided design for many years. More recently the software industry is looking to computer applications to help in the design of software systems. This requires support for published methods for creating designs. The methods for "structured" software analysis and design often make use of diagrams as the notation for presenting, communicating and thinking about the design. There is therefore the need for design tools which support a graphical interface in an intelligent and enabling way. This paper described the goals and features of MacCadd, a tool with a graphical interface for support of specific methods using hierarchical network and tree diagrams. The paper presents the interface idioms which have been found to be desirable and the user reaction to MacCadd. In conclusion there are the open questions which suggest the future directions which could be taken, and the problems they raise in the interface.”
