Dear Dr. Suthers:


The following documents have been drafted for the EMACS project design:

* A Context Diagram; this document is available at:
http://www2.hawaii.edu/~lepape/ICS667/Project/AS_ContextsDiagrams.html

* Activity scenarios that introduces and vividly illustrates concrete ideas about new functionality, new ways of thinking about climbers' needs and how to meet them; this document is located at:
http://www2.hawaii.edu/~lepape/ICS667/Project/ActivityScenarios.html

* In addition, a Technical Glossary was created to explain all medical abbreviations used in the Context Diagram . This document is available at:
http://www2.hawaii.edu/~lepape/ICS667/Project/Documentation/Glossary.html

* Several previously submitted documents have been updated; specifically:

- The Root Concept that you remarked favorably upon has nevertheless been substantially modified to address your personal wishes for a more precise definition for all stakeholders. I also elaborated extensively on the assumptions and constraints part of the document to reflect particular concerns and the conclusions we reached in a meeting in your office.

- The Interview Guide has been entirely re-written to address my own concerns and your own personal comments.

As always, comments and constructive criticisms are welcome.


Cordially,


Marc A. Le Pape
