software engineering
Lack of a transversal
technique to support
interaction design processes
through various stages
Exploring the use of Concept Mapping to facilitate Interaction Design Processes
Is there a technique, which
can be used to support
interaction design processes
through various stages?
Supporting
 Elicitation

Exploring the use of Concept Mapping to facilitate Interaction Design Processes
Drawbacks
 Concept maps do not easily scale
 A lot of nodes make a concept map
difficult to read
Future Developments
Explore whether concept mapping
can be used to provide similar
support to state transition diagrams
with the aim of representing an
