Abstract :
In trying to provide useful software engineering tools that utilise computer supported cooperative working (CSCW), it is necessary to examine the use of cognitive artefacts. This paper looks at using artefacts to support a prototype soft systems analysis tool based upon the work of P.B. Checkland (1981). This methodology is concerned with systems definition and relies heavily on people-to-people interaction. The need for a cognitive artefact arises both from the cooperative working environment and the iterative nature of the technique
