Abstract
This paper presents “D-Case Communicator”, a web-based GSN editor which facilitates co-authoring of GSN diagrams by (possibly) remote stakeholders. D-Case Communicator is easy to use: it can be used in typical web-browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Safari; Editing is smooth as it is implemented using recent web technologies. This paper explains basic specification, usage, and design rationale of the tool. D-Case Communicator is available in https://mlab.ce.cst.nihon-u.ac.jp/dcase/.
