Abstract
In this paper, a system for capturing and maintaining design rationale is described. The significant contribution of this work is to address the problem of ensuring that the model is followed by the user and to extend the model to include risk analysis. This is accomplished using a software tool (PPIS) that allows the structure of the argumentation process to be made explicit and visible in the system.
