Automated Tool Support for a Large Scale Diagramming Tool
نویسنده
چکیده
GRACE is a large-scale diagramming tool constructed with the aid of automated tools from the Design Maintenance System (DMS ). Diagramming tools as a component of meta-case tools are common in the development of new software engineering projects. The design and development of GRACE addresses the development of a large-scale diagramming tool for the software maintenance area. The nature of legacy systems, due to their domain specific nature and scale, imposes certain constraints on the production of new tools. GRACE and its supporting tools are described in this context.

Web-Based CASE Tool for Automated Rendering of UML Models
Traditional CASE tools are desktop-based, so they do not support online software collaboration. That is, they do not allow members of software project teams who are geographically distributed to collaborate and work together on software projects. This constrains software houses from tapping into global talent pools that can help reduce software costs and acquire needed expertise. Online CASE to...
متن کاملAn approach to the automatic grading of imprecise diagrams
In this paper we describe our approach to the grading (marking) of graph-based diagrams for instance those produced by students in the area of Entity-Relationship (E-R) diagrams. This is an application of a more general problem and is based on our framework for diagram understanding. We believe that techniques of NLP commonly used in understanding text have equivalents in the understanding of d...
متن کاملExperimental evidence for diagramming benefits in science writing
Arguing for the need for a scientific research study (i.e. writing an introduction to a research paper) poses significant challenges for students. When faced with these challenges, students often generate overly safe replications (i.e. fail to find and include opposition to their hypothesis) or in contrast include no strong support for their hypothesis (i.e. relevant, valid evidence). How can w...
متن کاملConcurrent control on resource planning and revenue/expenditure estimation in large-scale shell material embankment projects management using discrete-event simulation
Resource planning in large-scale construction projects has been a complicated management issue requiring mechanisms to facilitate decision making for managers. In the present study, a computer-aided simulation model is developed based on concurrent control of resources and revenue/expenditure. The proposed method responds to the demand of resource management and scheduling in shell material emb...
متن کاملExploring the use of entity-relationship diagramming as a technique to support grounded theory inquiry
Purpose This research compares fundamental concepts from the grounded theory approach to social science research and concepts from entity-relationship diagramming, a technique used to model data from the field of systems analysis, and proposes that entity-relationship diagramming can be a useful tool for grounded theory researchers. The deductive nature of entity-relationship diagramming may be...
