Representations in Human-Computer Systems development. (2002)
Journal Article
Benyon, D. (2002). Representations in Human-Computer Systems development. Cognition, Technology and Work, 4, 180-196. https://doi.org/10.1007/s101110200017

When system developers design a computer system (or other information artefact), they must inevitably make judgements as to how to abstract the domain and how to represent this abstraction in their designs. Over the years human–computer interaction,... Read More about Representations in Human-Computer Systems development..

Democratic deficit and communication hyper-inflation in health care systems (2002)
Journal Article
Andras, P., & Charlton, B. G. (2002). Democratic deficit and communication hyper-inflation in health care systems. Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, 8(3), 291-297. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2753.2002.00354.x

There is a widespread perception of poor performance and reduced trust in relation to health care systems. The roots of this problem are interpreted in terms of the democratic deficit and communication hyper-inflation. The democratic deficit is chara...
