Semantics of Simple Arrow Diagrams
نویسندگان
چکیده
Arrows illustrate a large variety of semantics in diagrams. An automated interpretation of arrows would be highly desirable in pen-based interfaces. This paper formalizes the structural patterns of arrows, and identifies three structural properties that contribute to the interpretation of arrows: (1) the assignment of components to three slots, (2) the semantic types of the components, and (3) the orientation of the components.

Structure and Semantics of Arrow Diagrams
Arrows are major components of diagrams, where they are typically used to facilitate the communication of spatial and temporal knowledge. An automated interpretation of arrow diagrams would be highly desirable in pen-based interfaces. This paper develops a method for deducing possible interpretations of arrow diagrams, which is composed of a uni-directional arrow symbol and one or more componen...
متن کاملSpatial Cognition and Computation The Arrow-Semantics Interpreter
People often sketch diagrams to facilitate their communication. If computers understood such diagrams, people could interact with information systems more intuitively using similar multi-modal dialogs that include sketched diagrams. It remains a challenging problem, however, to make computers interpret arrow symbols, which are a frequent and versatile ingredient of such diagrams. This paper dev...
متن کاملTopological Relations of Arrow Symbols in Complex Diagrams
Illustrating a dynamic process with an arrow-containing diagram is a widespread convention in people’s daily communications. In order to build a basis for capturing the structure and semantics of such diagrams, this paper formalizes the topological relations between two arrow symbols and discusses the influence of these topological relations on the diagram’s semantics. Topological relations of ...
متن کاملPeykan check, a simple continuous quality control method for hematology analyzers
A simple inexpensive con!nuous quality control method, by means of eight basic blood coun!ng parameters, obtained from automated hematology analyzers, using pa!ent samples, is described. A few samples with low, normal and high values were selected and introduced to the instrument early in the morning as the first count, the results of which are plo#ed on the appropriate chart as dots. The sa...
متن کاملA stochastic extension of a behavioural subset of UML statechart diagrams
In this paper we present a stochastically timed extension of UML Statechart Diagrams. The extension is rather simple both from a notational point of view and from a semantics point of view. In particular we enrich a state/transition formal operational semantics we proposed in [14] with random clocks for expressing time values. We do this in an ”orthogonal” way, which means that the enriched sem...
