Abstract
Once in a very great while an idea comes along that quickly captures many imaginations. The circular graphic technique proposed nearly two years ago by Phil Kiviat, our illustrious Chairman, and very appropriately named "Kiviat Graphs" by our erst-while (and sorely missed) "Software Empiricist," Ken Kolence, is one of these ideas.

Further comments on comparative evaluation of Kiviat graphs
Mike Morris has presented an excellent discussion in these pages (1) of the use of Kiviat Graphs for Computer Performance Evaluation, referencing another fine article (2) which proposed a technique for analytic comparisons (rankings) of these Graphs. ...
Shape in ranking Kiviat graphs
The purpose of this paper is to address the topic of ranking or comparing Kiviat Graphs. Several articles have appeared on the subject. For background information the reader is directed to the original article by Philip Kiviat and Kenneth Kolence (1) ...
