Chimura, Hiroyasu, Kato, Hiroshi, Mitani, Hiroyuki and Sato, Takahiro (1988): Contextual Structure Analysis of Microcomputer Manuals. 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. 257-274.

“With the rapid diversification and popularization of microcomputers, the necessity for good manuals is increasing. Manuals play an important role in human computer interaction. Most manuals, however, are hard to understand. It is necessary to develop methodologies, methods and technologies for improving the quality of manuals. The authors considered that contextual structure plays an important part in readability. From this point of view, a method was developed for manuals contextual structure analysis and evaluation applying ISM (Interpretive Structural Modeling) method which is one means for structurally modeling a system. Use of the method helps manual developers to graphically express the whole contextual structure for manuals and to find any logical inconsistency. This paper describes the basic idea and the method, and then demonstrates the feasibility of using the method through actual applications.”
