Hi all, A colleague has asked me a question I couldn't answer, and she & I both have reason to believe it relates to design research. A preliminary search didn't really help much so I thought I'd ask the community here. Because there's a bit of sensitive info in the actual case, I'll generalize enough to eliminate that. There is a certain process P that measures some features of certain products and is used to determine whether certain users can safely use the products. Process P has been found wanting on various fronts. There are two alternative process models, neither of which has been implemented yet. The task is to perform some kind of evaluation of the two alternative process models - given available background information about the specific situation. The problem: We don't know what "keywords" to use to find any existing literature on this kind of evaluation task ("comparative evaluation of process models" gave us a few leads, but we're not sure we're using the right keywords still). Can anyone offer us any advice? \V/_ /fas *Prof. Filippo A.
