An Overview of 3D Software Visualization

3D Visualization of Vasculature: An Overview

A large variety of techniques has been developed to visualize vascular structures. These techniques differ in the necessary preprocessing effort, in the computational effort to create the visualizations, in the accuracy with respect to the underlying image data and in the visual quality of the result. In this overview, we compare 3D visualization methods and discuss their applicability for diag...

EvoSpaces: 3D Visualization of Software Architecture

This paper presents the Evospaces reverse-engineering tool that represents the architecture and metrics of complex software systems in a 3D virtual world. The main goal of our project is to exploit familiar metaphors (analogical representations borrowed from another domain) and sophisticated interactions modes to help the user understand complex systems. First, we present the general architectu...

A 3D Metaphor for Software Production Visualization

Software development is difficult because software is complex, the software production process is complex and understanding of software systems is a challenge. In this paper we propose a 3D visual approach to depict software production cost related program information to support software maintenance. The information helps us to reduce software maintenance costs, to plan the use of personnel wis...

Software agents: an overview

Agent software is a rapidly developing area of research. However, the overuse of the word ‘agent’ has tended to mask the fact that, in reality, there is a truly heterogeneous body of research being carried out under this banner. This overview paper presents a typology of agents. Next, it places agents in context, defines them and then goes on, inter alia, to overview critically the rationales, ...
