CSE 590d: Possible papers

List of feedback I got from VL/HCC 2010: Mostly researcher names to look at, and some names of projects or discipline/field/research areas, so the papers are things I dug up from their websites that had interesting titles & abstracts...

• Paper recommended by Steve:

  At some point this quarter in 590D it might be a good idea to cover "Prosperity" games.  Here is a 
  report on one of them, done in 1994, with a lot of US government funding, I think.
  
  David and I learned about them during our call with the American Indian Higher Education Consortium 
  representative for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
  
  There are some lessons in these projects, I think, for the design
  and use of CoSolve.

  Could "Cindy Atkins" be "Cindy Atman," faculty member in HCDE? Does work with engineers and drawing (among other things) in the CELT (Center for Eng. Learning and Teaching) lab? -- brj

• Design Rationale (wikipedia: "A Design Rationale is an explicit documentation of the reasons behind decisions made when designing a system or artifact. As initially developed by W.R. Kunz and Horst Rittel, design rationale seeks to provide argumentation-based structure to the political, collaborative process of addressing wicked problems. "), Issue-Based Information System (IBIS)
  - In the IBIS world, there's an interesting example in the JANUS system from UCBoulder, Gerhard Fischer & others did work for NASA on capsule or space-station design and mechanisms to track & regurgitate design rationale. It's probably published in multiple places, but I can come up with an ACADIA paper if you dont find it in the ACM library. --brj
