Dimension Driven Re-Design - Applying Systematic Dimensional Analysis.
Chris Roast · 2002
This paper describes work focused upon the formal analysis of the evaluative framework offered by cognitive dimensions. The paper introduces a tool for assisting with this analysis (CiDa). Findings from using the tool to analyse a series of example systems are described and discussed in relation to proposed cognitive dimension inter-dependencies. Exploiting Cognitive Dimensions Cognitive dimensions have received considerable attention within the human-computer interaction and the psychology of programming. The concepts on which the dimensions are based have received broad interest within a variety of domains where the uptake and complexity of notations and artefacts has been seen as a bottleneck in their effective exploitation, see Blackwell and Bilotta (2000),
