Abstract

The acquisition by developers of e-Science applications of a thorough understanding of the requirements of end-users has been recognized as playing a critical role in the usability of such applications. However, there is another dimension to such an understanding that also plays an important role, namely the extent to which these developers converge on a shared understanding of these requirements. This paper considers why such a shared understanding is important, and highlights possible obstacles to this that may arise in the context of e-Science projects. A research project, consisting of qualitative case studies of two projects, is being undertaken, with the goal of producing recommendations for improving shared understanding of end-users' requirements amongst developers of e-Science applications. Although the data collection is still ongoing, it is anticipated that the research will be completed, and recommendations developed, in time for the IEEE e-Science conference 2009.

对电子科学项目中最终用户需求的共同理解
电子科学应用程序的开发人员对最终用户需求的全面了解,已被认为在这些应用程序的可用性中起着至关重要的作用。然而,这种理解的另一个维度也起着重要的作用,即这些开发人员在多大程度上汇聚在对这些需求的共同理解上。本文考虑了为什么这种共同的理解是重要的,并强调了在电子科学项目的背景下可能出现的障碍。目前正在进行一项研究项目,包括对两个项目进行定性案例研究,目的是提出建议,以改善电子科学应用程序开发人员对最终用户需求的共同理解。虽然数据收集仍在进行中,但预计这项研究将在2009年IEEE e-Science会议上及时完成,并提出建议。
