A 3D Metaphor for Software Production Visualization
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 wisely, to appoint experts efficiently and to detect system problems early.

X3D-Earth in the Software Visualization Pipeline
We need tools and new ways to visualize our software execution traces and to deploy and integrate the visualizations into users’ environments. We are currently implementing existing information visualization 3D metaphors using X3D to visualize our execution traces, however most of these metaphors are principly node-link diagrams or graph structures and are not easy to interpret nor understand. ...
متن کاملComprehension of Software Analysis Data Using 3D Visualization
The paper presents a software visualization application-framework that utilizes a variety of 3D metaphors to represent large software system and related analysis data. The 3D representation is based on the SeeSoft pixel representation and extends that original metaphor by rendering the visualization in a 3D space. Object-based manipulation methods and simultaneous alternative mappings are avail...

The aim of this study was to assess how certain tools in 3D volume visualization software aid physical scientists in their visual analysis of 3D data sets. The KeckCaves collaboration has lead to continuing development of a 3D volume visualization software package called Visualizer, which is built on the Virtual Reality User Interface (VRUI) Toolkit designed by Oliver Kreylos. Visualizer can be...
