Soft Systems Methodology
• Focuses on planning
• Emphasis on understanding situation in which a perceived
problem is thought to lie, not in finding a solution
• Interested parties: stakeholders
• Initial phases involve stakeholders and obtain a rich
expression of problem situation
• Next phases occur away from the real world
– CATWOE (Clients, Actors, Transformation, World View, Owners,
Environment)
• Final phases compare conceptual models with original
problem expression
Comparison of conceptual
models with problem

Root definition of Building conceptual
relevant systems models
Cooperative design
• Participative design
– Scandinavian approach
– involves users in design process
• Sociotechnical design
– focus on social and technical alternatives to problems
– “fragile relationships of the person, the working
environment, and the computer technology”
– Open Systems Task Analysis method (OSTA)
Multiview
• More all-encompassing
• Produces a series of models
– Primary Task Model (PTM)
– Functional Model (FM)
– Entity models (presents conceptual model)
– Role Sets (RS), People Tasks (PT), Computer Task Requirements
(CTR)
– Technical requirements
• First define human system, then technical requirements
• Provides guidance but strict ordering may be difficult to
follow

Star model
• Based on HCI designers’ actual practice
• Evaluation is central
• “Alternating waves” approach to system
development--alternates between top-down
(analytic) and bottom-up (synthetic)
• Distinguishes between
– Conceptual design: what is required
– Physical design: how these things can be achieved
