Using scenarios to draft the support of intelligent tools for frail elders in the SHARE-it approach

Abstract

A scenario is an example narrative description of typical interactions of users with the system. Scenarios are concrete, informal descriptions, and are not intended to describe all possible interactions. This document describes the scenarios used in the SHARE-it project. These scenarios have several purposes. The main purpose of scenarios is to provide a communication tool between the user experts and the technology experts. As scenarios describe the actual deployment of the system, it encapsulates both knowledge about how the system can be useful, and also what is technically feasible. Each scenario in this document has the following items: Purpose of the scenario, User Description, Narrative Scenario, Structure of the scenario, Roles of the Agents, Role of Communication.
