چکیده

The dynamic behavior of object-oriented programs is diicult to design, implement, and modify. Understanding the interactions between classes and objects is necessary to create eecient designs and make safe modiications. This work seeks to identify, visualize, and analyze recurring message patterns in object-oriented program executions as a means for understanding and examining dynamic behavior. Our visualizations focus on supporting design recovery, validation, and reengineering tasks.

Animated UML as a 3d-illustration for teaching OOP

The classical view of a register-based abstract machine is a barrier for understanding the execution of object-oriented programs. We visualize program execution based on the object-oriented paradigm with its objects and the message flows between them. For this we propose a visualisation for intuitive understanding of object-oriented based program executions. Three dimensional animated illustrat...

Geosheet: A Distributed Visualization Tool for Geometric Algorithms

GeoSheet (version 1.0) is an interactive visualization tool for visualizing geometric algorithms in distributed environments. It provides features such as interactive visualization of program states for debugging, high-level graphical input/output manipulation facilities for geometric objects, reuse of existing data structures and algorithms implementation, and more importantly distributed exec...

A Reduction Theorem for Concurrent Object-Oriented Programs

A typical execution of a concurrent program is an interleaving of the threads of its components. It is well known that the net effect of a concurrent execution may be quite different from the serial executions of its components. In this paper we introduce a programming notation for concurrent object-oriented programs, called Seuss, and show that concurrent executions of its programs are, under ...

Debugging of Distributed Object-Oriented Applications

Our first job was to adapt the causal partial order of events to the new context of object oriented distributed applications. We want to order method invocations, method executions and blocks of code. By this way we adopt an approach based on a logic of action where only two events are needed : the begin and the end of the action. Then the causal ordering of distributed objects applications is ...

Testing and debugging message passing applications based on the synergy of program and specification executions

We outline Ensemble, a design and implementation methodology for composing message passing (MP) applications from program components. We also outline specification composition, directly associated with application composition. We present the integration of specification and implementation of program development. We particularly elaborate on testing and debugging of MP applications based on the ...
