System and Software Visualisation
نویسنده
چکیده
The progress of software visualisation, beyond that of nodes and arcs in various forms, has lagged behind the developments made in such fields as information visualisation. That is now starting to change and recent innovations are reviewed, based on a historical view of software visualisation, and followed by some of the many outstanding research issues. The use of threedimensions is almost as new as the more recent research directions and the focus is on the newer visualisations that make use of the extra dimension for the display of information. Whilst this leaves many unanswered questions and unsolved areas, it is a field where much fruitful work has been done and is ripe for further research.

Tag Clouds in Software Visualisation
Software visualisation employs techniques from the more general information visualisation field to help software engineers comprehend and manage the size and complexity of software systems. In this paper, we explore the use of tag clouds for software visualisation. We describe a tool which implements our approach and illustrate its operation with examples from our software engineering research ...
متن کاملIntegrated Visualisation and Description of Complex Systems
This report discusses the Integrated Visualisation and Description (IV&D) Approach, a computer-based visualisation approach that is being developed to support the visualisation and description of complex systems. Guided by a conceptual model of a description process that is driven by user information needs within a domain context, the approach incorporates the use of novel visualisation techniq...
متن کاملDynamic Visualisation of Software State
The size and complexity of software systems presents many challenges to developers. Software visualisation techniques can help make more manageable tasks across the development cycle. In this paper we focus on the dynamic visualisation of software state— an important element in supporting activities such as debugging. We propose Pseudo-Breakpoints as a means of collecting data and making it ava...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Tarraingı́m A Model and System for Abstract Program Visualisation
Like other large software systems, software visualisation systems are hard to design. We have developed a model of program visualisation and an abstract program visualisation system in tandem, via a series of evolutionary cycles. Each cycle used experience gained in the previous one to identify problems to address and improvements to make. The resulting program visualisation system, Tarraingı́m,...
متن کاملVisualizing Software in Virtual Reality
Software visualisations of one form or another appear in numerous software maintenance tools. Visualisation is arguably one of the most profitable means of communicating information to a user. As software systems become larger and more complex we find ourselves in greater need for techniques to visualise such large information structures. This paper concentrates on visualising software systems ...
متن کاملLayered Earth Inversion Visual Toolkit: A Scientific Visualisation Case Study
Visualisation Systems are in general designed to maximise the cognitive ability of system users particularly when exposed to large sets of otherwise difficult to comprehend data, by appealing to various strengths of the human perceptual system in processing visual information. Scientific Visualisation in particular aims to present physical data in ways that facilitate the discovery and/or under...
