Software Visualization and Yosemite National Park

چکیده
As software systems grow in size and complexity, so does the di culty of understanding and maintaining them. Research in software understanding attempts to mitigate this problem by making various aspects of software development more visible, accessible, and comprehensible. In this paper we propose a hypertext-based approach to software visualization in which navigation in software-space is modeled after physical navigation in Yosemite National Park. Physical navigation capabilities are mapped into the domain of software development, where a user of a softwareproject visualization system navigates among interrelated units of information. We use the metaphor to de ne a set of requirements for the visualization system. We de ne linguistic constructs for a navigation language to be used in software-world. We discuss practical implications of implementing the visualization system.

Assessing and Modeling Visitors’ Evaluations of Park Road Conditions in Yosemite National Park
Introduction Park visitors' travel choices and behavior are longstanding concerns for the National Park Service. Travel behaviors can affect natural and cultural resources and the quality of the visitor experience. Driving park roadways has been central to the Ameri can national park experience since the earliest days of park preservation. As historian David Louter (2006) argued in his book Win...
متن کاملA Network Extension of Species Occupancy Models in a Patchy Environment Applied to the Yosemite Toad (Anaxyrus canorus)
A central challenge of conservation biology is using limited data to predict rare species occurrence and identify conservation areas that play a disproportionate role in regional persistence. Where species occupy discrete patches in a landscape, such predictions require data about environmental quality of individual patches and the connectivity among high quality patches. We present a novel ext...
متن کاملAssessing prevention measures and Sin Nombre hantavirus seroprevalence among workers at Yosemite National Park.
BACKGROUND During 2012, a total of 10 overnight visitors to Yosemite National Park (Yosemite) became infected with a hantavirus (Sin Nombre virus [SNV]); three died. SNV infections have been identified among persons with occupational exposure to deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus). METHODS We assessed SNV infection prevalence, work and living environments, mice exposures, and SNV prevention tr...

Trophic cascades involving cougar, mule deer, and black oaks in Yosemite National Park
Using a historical reconstruction, we discovered a potential trophic cascade involving cougar (Puma concolor), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), and California black oak (Quercus kelloggii) in the Yosemite Valley of Yosemite National Park in California. Our objective was to determine whether large deer populations in the absence of a top-level carnivore were suppressing tree regeneration. As hum...
