Re: Work on integrating UCD into dev process

Ralph -

Most of the book _Object Modeling and User Interface Design_ (details
below) addresses UCD, although several chapters deal specifically with
UI design rather than the bigger picture. My chapter integrates UCD with
use-case driven methods while my recent article for the Cutter IT
Journal does a similar job for Agile processes such as XP. See the
recent papers section of http://www.syntagm.co.uk/design/articles.htm

IBM are also doing work in this area. http://www.ibm.com/easy is the
home of "OVID" (Objects Views and Interaction Design) which is mentioned
quite a bit in the OM & UID book. Also, IBM recently took over Rational
Software whose RUP (Rational Unified Process) product includes some
guidance on how to combine it with UCD. (It's a in a document that I
wrote, found in  Disciplines >  Requirements >  Concepts >
User-Centered Design.)
