Abstract
This article summarizes the workshop on human factors in use cases and object-oriented development methods. The following questions were the main focus of the workshop: Can use cases be improved by the incorporation or consideration of formal task analysis models and human centered design techniques in general? Are there ways of integrating human factors and user-centered techniques into use cases and object-oriented methods? The workshop brought a multidisciplinary blend of researchers and practitioners involved in user-centered design together with those interested by user requirements and use cases. It highlighted fundamental problems arising from the integration of human factors in use cases and OO methods.
