The Knight Project: Supporting Collaboration in Object-Oriented Analysis and Design


Abstract

Object-oriented analysis and design benefits from active collaboration
between developers and users. Based on user studies of collaborative
modelling practice, we are developing a tool, called Knight, for
supporting this active collaboration. By combining a large shared
screen with gesture recognition and zoomable interfaces, Knight allows
the collaborative construction of UML based models mixed with informal
drawings. This position paper thus presents a novel approach to
narrowing the gap between developers and users.
