Using Software Visualisation to Enhance Online Component Markets
نویسندگان
چکیده
Online component markets can be costly for consumers to use, in terms of the time and effort spent understanding the components on offer. This cost of understanding will deter consumers from reusing the available components. Software visualisations derived from the components’ run-time behaviour can lessen the cost of understanding. We have developed a prototype tool called Spider for providing this functionality to producers and consumers. We discuss some of the issues involved, along with our experiences in implementing the prototype.

متن کاملPattern Browsing and Query Adjustment for the Exploratory Analysis and Cooperative Visualisation of Microarray Time-Course Data
This paper presents work to support collaborative visualisation and data analysis in the microarray time-series explorer (MaTSE) software. We introduce a novel visualisation component called the ‘pattern browser’ which is used to support the annotation and adjustment of user queries. This includes an explanation of why this component is required and how it can be used with our online pattern re...

متن کاملA 3D Visualisation to Enhance Cognition in Software Product Line Engineering
Software Product Line (SPL) Engineering is a development paradigm where core artefacts are developed and subsequently configured into different software products dependent on a particular customer's requirements. In industrial product lines, the scale of the configuration (variability management) can become extremely complex and very difficult to manage. Visualisation is widely used in software...
