Requirements capture for inclusive design resources and tools (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dong, H., Clarkson, P. J., & Keates, S. (2004, July). Requirements capture for inclusive design resources and tools. Presented at ASME 7th Biennial Conference on Engineering Systems Design and Analysis, Manchester, England

In the past twenty years, a number of resources and tools to support inclusive design have been developed. However, the impact of these resources and tools on industry is not evident — few industrialists have been using them in practice. Investigatio...
