Representations in Interactive Systems Development: A Special Double Issue of Human-Computer Interaction

This special double issue has its origins in a workshop that arose from research--based on the assumption that good communication underpins collaborative design--on representations for supporting communication between users and designers. The papers in this issue are wide ranging in addressing the different issues in the development and use of representations in systems development. The authors present interesting theoretical, empirical, methodological, and practical discussions of this important topic.
