Recent research on interfaces driven by line-markings indicates that there are many potential benefits and applications of such interfaces. Benefits include the exploitation of users' handwriting skills and their skills in understanding handwritten marks. There are systems that have exploited one or the other of these benefits but not both. One application which would take advantage of both of ...

Among several diagrams defined in UML, the class diagram is particularly useful through entire software development process, from early domain analysis stages to later maintenance stages. However conventional UML environments are often inappropriate for collaborative modeling in physically remote locations, such as exchanging models on a public mailing list via email. To overcome this issue, we...

Smart environments are beginning to have a large impact to collaborative group work in business and science. The multiuser and multi-display character of these group work environments presents a novel challenge for information visualization, namely, the adaptation of graphical representations of data to specific target devices in the environment. In this paper, we discuss a general strategy for...

In fact, Celent’s 2012 survey of the U.S. insurance industry found that increasing profitability is the key business goal identified by CIOs as the primary component of their strategic agenda over...

We propose the use of ontologies for managing strategy content, which is generated and processed during strategy planning processes. We introduce a Protégé extension aiming at facilitating this task. It provides views on the strategy content codified in the ontology in form of diagrams and supports the concurrent graphical editing of these by multiple users at the same time.
