Subject: Multiple Views of Specifications Newsgroups: comp.specification,comp.cog-eng As part of my research, I am currently looking into the principles behind the design of systems which can provide multiple views of a specification. Deciding which views to provide however, is a difficult task. One approach is to provide a means for users to design their own views (re: the GARDEN system developed at Brown Univ). I am not sure however, whether this approach would just create yet more problems for users. Perhaps providing a fixed set of views would be better. I'd be very pleased to hear from you if : * You have any opinions about the above, * You have any ideas about specific views that should be provided. (An indication of the sorts of systems that these views would be useful for would also be useful to me ). Thankyou ... I'll post the results, if there is sufficient interest. _________________________________________________________________ Paul Andrews, Human Computer Interaction Group, Dept. of Computer Science, University of York, Heslington, YORK.
