ABSTRACT
One central reason for today’s ill-specified man-machine systems at the forefront are ambiguous, incomplete, grammatically incorrect, and isolated written descriptions of features and requirements as well as the absence of workflows and processes of human task strategies. We therefore discuss affects from a larger context during elicitation, analysis, negotiation, decision-making, validation, design, and realization from the eyes of human involvement and task performance. We present the root of feature and requirements lists that still prevail in today’s organizations and contrast descriptions of features and requirements with those of a problem statement. Under the umbrella of the OO paradigm, we illustrate dependencies of narratives within the problem domain with its interdependent models and views. As a suitable method for an organization for less ambiguous descriptions of deltas and behaviors, we present the heuristics-based method ‘class, responsibilities, and collaboration’ (CRC), present practical guidelines, and give examples, in which human mental and motor actions may need to be included.
