Case study documents

Overview

As part of this research, we performed a case study to see which types of discourse are used during discussions of system requirements, and how these discourse types can be captured as argument schemes and critical questions. We manually coded transcripts of such discussions using a list of argument schemes and critical questions based on GRL and PRAS.

Below we provide the original transcripts, our annotations, and experimental models we developed from them. For more details on our methodology, please see the article [in submission].
