Participants will learn how structured Essential Use Cases differ from conventional use cases and how they fit into a systematic usage-centered design process for object-oriented software. They will gain practice in deriving Essential Use Case Models, writing structured narratives, and applying them to user interface design problems. Presentation Format: Through discussion, illustrative examples, and hands-on application, this tutorial will introduce techniques for constructing and elaborating User Role Models, deriving Essential Use Case Models, representing them in UML and applying them to realistic user interface design problems. Attendee Background: Participants should have some experience with use cases as employed in object-oriented analysis and design. Familiarity with basic user interface design principles and issues will also be helpful. Dr. James Noble has recently returned home to lecture at the Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. James has extensive experience lecturing, teaching, and mentoring with software design, user interface design, and design patterns. Larry Constantine, Professor of Computing Sciences, University of Technology, Sydney, is a pioneer of modern software engineering practice and an internationally recognized authority on the human side of software. He has 10 books and over 125 papers to his credit. Lucy Lockwood, President of Constantine & Lockwood, Ltd., is a highly regarded trainer and consultant and co-author of Software for Use: A Practical Guide to the Models and Methods of Usage-Centered Design (Addison-Wesley, 1999).
