Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Usage-centered design is an approach to user interface design based on a focus on user intentions and usage patterns. It analyzes users in terms of the roles they play in relation to systems and employs abstract (essential) use cases for task analysis. It derives visual and interaction design from abstract prototypes based on the understanding of user roles and task cases. Usage-centered design was introduced by Larry Constantine and Lucy Lockwood. The primary reference is their book.
