KJ-Editor: an index-card style tool

KJ-Editor simulates the arranging activity of index cards on a desk. Such activity is essential for carrying out the so-called KJ method, which is very popular in Japanese business society. The KJ method itself is briefly described. The most serious problem when the card arranging activity is simulated on a computer is how to get a panoramic view of all the cards, and a trial for this problem is presented. The authors' experience of software requirements analysis and design using the KJ-Editor is also presented.<
