Argumentation-based design rationale - the sharpest tools in the box

Stumpf, S. (1997). Argumentation-based design rationale - the sharpest tools in the box (RN/98/103). London, UK: Computer Science Department, University College London.

Abstract

In this paper the three main argumentation-based design rationale methodologies - IBIS, QOC and DRL – will be discussed with illustrations of particular points drawn from a working example. The areas of scope, expressiveness in terms of design space and argumentation representation and the resulting usability by human and computer will be examined. Particular attention is paid to how the development of the artifact is being controlled by the evaluation of intentions and objectives that allow consistent goals throughout the design to be formulated, evaluated and modified. Furthermore, decision making within an argumentative context is highlighted.
