Tiny- Notational Approach for Software Architecture Visualization
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present paper derives and constructs a new visualization methodology called "Tiny-Notational Approach", developed for better visualization of software architecture (SA). The "Tiny-Notations" are designed to specify the underlined concepts that a software entity, module and component belong to. The software architects can apply the Tiny-Notations to determine a particular software component or its activities related to another component because they provide additional information to address the understandability and mutual communication issues of the stakeholders related to SA. The proposed notations are easy to use and understand, and also several design aspects of components may be focused for domain specific analysis. The paper presents an implementation scenario of a web-based client-server system with its software architecture.

متن کاملAn Approach for 3D Visualization of Pipelines
Utility networks (pipelines and cables) are usually modelled by lines and nodes. The systems used for maintenance of utilities are typically twodimensional, allowing for creating vertical profiles in limited key places. Since the position is visualized on 2D maps, it is rather difficult to distinguish between cables and pipelines with the same x,y coordinates. Such visualization might be misund...
متن کاملVisualization of Business Process Architectures
As business process management spreads across most big enterprises and other organizations, they build process collections of hundreds of models. Managing these process collections as a whole poses a major challenge to those organizations. Business process architectures are an approach to structuring and understanding process collections. This report proposes visualization as a means of communi...
متن کاملThe rube Framework for Personalized 3-D Software Visualization
In this chapter, we discuss a software modeling and visualization framework called rube†. This framework facilitates the creation of three-dimensional (3-D) software visualizations that integrate both static software architecture and dynamic real-time operation. A unique aspect of rube is that it does not tie developers down to a set of predefined symbols, objects, or metaphors in their visuali...
متن کاملReinventing Explicit Parallel Programming for Improved Engineering of High Performance Computing Software
From on-going practices of those who develop high performance software, there is an evident, pressing need for a highly focused effort to “reinvent” the explicit methodologies that support parallel programming. To enable a new methodology, orthogonalization of features and separation of concerns within the feature sets of existing parallel models (e.g., MPI-1, MPI-2, DRI, MPI/RT, BSP) are requi...
