The role of task analysis in systems design (1992)
Journal Article
Benyon, D. (1992). The role of task analysis in systems design. Interacting with Computers, 4(1), 102-123. https://doi.org/10.1016/0953-5438%2892%2990015-8

Task analysis and systems analysis are both collections of techniques aimed at the development of interactive computer-based systems. Clearly there must be some relationship between them. However, since the techniques originate from different discipl... Read More about The role of task analysis in systems design.

Zone shapes in class based storage and multicommand order picking when storage/retrieval machines are used (1992)
Journal Article

Regaining the conceptual level in object oriented modelling (1991)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barclay, P. J., & Kennedy, J. (1991, July). Regaining the conceptual level in object oriented modelling. Presented at 9th British National Conference on Database - BNCOD9, 1991

This paper attempts to develop a conceptual model for the object oriented description of data. We abstract from various logical model features essential for thinking about data in an object oriented framework. These features are presented through exa...
