A framework for visual notation exchange
نویسندگان
چکیده
A wide range of software tools provide software engineers with different views (static and dynamic) of software systems. Much recent work has focused on software information model exchange. However, most software tools lack support for exchange of information about visualisation notations (both definitions of notations and instances of them). Some basic converters have been developed to support the exchange of notation information between software tools but almost all are custom-built to support specific notations and difficult to maintain. We describe the development of several notation exchange converters for tools supporting software architecture notations. This has lead to the development of a unified converter generator framework for notation exchange.

متن کاملAudio-visual Rhetoric: Visualizing the Pattern Language of Film
Audio-visual Rhetoric is a knowledge domain for designers in theory and practice that is valid for all communicative actions through media that aim for persuasion. Within this domain, we introduce a framework for media analysis. We developed an Audio-Visual Pattern (AVP) language for film that is visualized within a notation system. This system shows auditory and visual parameters in order to r...
متن کاملISF: A Visual Formalism for Specifying Interconnection Styles for Software Design
We have developed a framework for specifying high-level software designs. The core of the framework is a very simple visual notation. This notation enables designers to document designs as labelled rectangles and directed edges. In addition to the notation, our framework features a supporting formalism, called ISF (Interconnection Style Formalism). This formalism enables designers to customize ...
متن کاملB2B Interoperability using Business-Driven Integration: Conceptual Framework and Case Study
The interoperability among companies and the business-to-business (B2B) message exchange are key aspects of the growth of businesses: in the next years the companies that are able to cooperate with each other will be winners. The use of B2B messages modifies a company’s method of operation and, of course, its internal business process. In this paper, we propose a conceptual framework to solve t...
