Sketching ER Diagrams
Hand-drawn diagrams are frequently used as the first visualization of a model. Converting these preliminary diagrams into a specific formal format is time consuming. Computer based sketch-tools can offer support during the informal sketching stage and automatic conversion to formal representations. Entity Relationship diagrams are particularly difficult to convert because of their characteristi...
متن کاملRCC-3D: Qualitative Spatial Reasoning in 3D
Qualitative Spatial Reasoning (QSR) theories have applications in areas such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), robotics, biomedicine, and engineering. However, existing QSR theories primarily have been applied only to 2D data. Herein we introduce a 3D reasoning system that is based on Generalized 2D Region Connection Calculus (GRCC). Our theory, RCC-3D, supports a priori knowledge of the...
متن کاملGoal Sketching and Activity Diagrams
Goal orientation is an important paradigm in requirements engineering. The structure of a goalresponsibility model provides opportunities for appraising the intention of a development. Creating a suitable model under agile constraints (time, incompleteness and catching up after an initial burst of creativity) can be challenging. Here we report on an investigation into the marriage of UML activi...
متن کاملArrows in Comprehending and Producing Mechanical Diagrams
Mechanical systems have structural organizations-parts, and their relations-and functional organizations-temporal, dynamic, and causal processes-which can be explained using text or diagrams. Two experiments illustrate the role of arrows in diagrams of mechanical systems. In Experiment 1, people described diagrams with or without arrows, interpreting diagrams without arrows as conveying structu...
متن کاملAn e-whiteboard application to support early design-stage sketching of UML diagrams
We describe a Unified Modelling Language (UML) diagramming tool that uses an E-whiteboard, pen-based sketching interface to support collaborative design. Our tool allows designers to sketch UML visual modelling language constructs, mixing different UML diagram components, free-hand annotations and hand-written text. A key novelty of our approach is the preservation of handdrawn diagrams and sup...
