Announcing availability of BRUITΔSAM™ Version 1.0.1
What is BRUITΔSAM™
In 1986, Sidney L. Smith and Jane N Mosier from MITRE Corporation completed a report for the United States Air Force entitled “Guidelines for Designing User Interface Software”. It was a large document detailing 944 individual guidelines for the design of computer based user interface software.
BRUITΔSAM™ is a HyperCard stack that allows the user to browse through theses guidelines and offers a sophisticated process for the management of “gathering” and searching for related guidelines into a separate document for user specific requirements. Related guidelines and Cross References are linked using the hypertext facilities of Hypercard.
