Ibis Computer Program

Issue based information system Wikipedia. The issue based information system IBIS was invented by Werner Kunz and Horst Rittel as an argumentation based approach to tackling wicked problemscomplex, ill defined problems that involve multiple stakeholders. 1According to Kunz and Rittel, Issue Based Information Systems IBIS are meant to support coordination and planning of political decision processes. IBIS guides the identification, structuring, and settling of issues raised by problem solving groups, and provides information pertinent to the discourse. 1Subsequently, the understanding of planning and design as a process of argumentation of the designer with himself or with others has led to the use of IBIS in design rationale. 23The basic structure of IBIS is a graph. It is therefore quite suitable to be manipulated by computer, as in a graph database. 4OvervieweditThe elements of IBIS are issues or questions that need to be answered, each of which are associated with alternative positions or possible answers. 15 These in turn are associated with arguments which support or object to a given position or another argument. In the course of the treatment of issues, new issues come up which are treated likewise. 6Issue based information systems are used as a means of widening the coverage of a problem. By encouraging a greater degree of participation, particularly in the earlier phases of the process, the designer is increasing the opportunity that difficulties of his proposed solution, unseen by him, will be discovered by others. Since the problem observed by a designer can always be treated as merely a symptom of another higher level problem, the argumentative approach also increases the likelihood that someone will attempt to attack the problem from this point of view. Another desirable characteristic of the IBIS is that it helps to make the design process transparent. Transparency here refers to the ability of observers as well as participants to trace back the process of decision making. IBIS is used in issue mapping,7 an argument visualization technique related to argument mapping. It is also the basis of a related facilitation technique called dialogue mapping. 89Some researchers and practitioners have combined IBIS with numerical decision making software based on multi criteria decision making. 1. HistoryeditRittels interest lay in the area of public policy and planning, which is also the context in which he and his colleagues defined wicked problems. 1. The official site of the IB program.

So it is no surprise that Kunz and Rittel envisaged IBIS as the type of information system meant to support the work of cooperatives like governmental or administrative agencies or committees, planning groups, etc., that are confronted with a problem complex in order to arrive at a plan for decision. 1When Kunz and Rittels paper was written, there were three manual, paper based IBIS type systems in usetwo in government agencies and one in a university. 1A renewed interest in IBIS type systems came about in the following decade, when advances in technology made it possible to design relatively inexpensive, computer based IBIS type systems. 241. In 1. 98. 7, Douglas E. Noble completed a computer supported IBIS program as part of his doctoral dissertation. 2 Jeff Conklin and co workers adapted the IBIS structure for use in software engineering, creating the g. IBIS graphical IBIS hypertext system in the late 1. Several other graphical IBIS type systems were developed once it was realised that such systems facilitated collaborative design and problem solving. 3 These efforts culminated in the creation of the open source Compendium software tool which supportsamong other thingsa graphical IBIS notation. 31.

IBIS type systems, particularly in the context of sensemaking and collaborative problem solving in a variety of social and technical contexts. 72. Of particular note is the facilitation method called dialogue mapping which uses the IBIS notation to map out a design or any other dialogue as it evolves. 89See alsoeditReferencesedit abcde.
