Abstract

Modeling is important in object-oriented software
development. Although a num er of Computer Aided Software Engineering
(CASE) tools are available, and even though some are technically
advanced, few developers use them. This paper describes our attempt to
examine the requirements needed to provide tool support for the
development process, and describes and evaluates a tool, Knight, which
has been developed based on these requirements. The tool is based on a
direct, whiteboard-like interaction achieved using gesture input on a
large electronic whiteboard. So far the evaluations have been
successful and the tool shows the potential of greatly enhancing
current support for object-oriented modeling.
