One is that the minimum duration can 1 A glyph is a graphical object (often vaguely representing a real object, like a face) whose features express the values of certain attributes that are to be shown [10, 11]. never be shorter than the difference between LSS and EFS if it was, the MinDu bar would fall down between its supports. If LSS or EFS are undefined, the corresponding diamonds become rolls, which means that the implicitly defined EFS moves if the MinDu changes, for example. On the right ....

Other work that addresses the problems of visualizing entire software systems to support program comprehension and maintenance include SeeSoft [2, 3, 9] VOGUE [16] Rigi [21, 22] and InfoBUG [5]. The SoftArch environment [10] has the power to represent static and dynamic aspects of the software system at various degrees of abstraction. It is one of the few systems that allows for visualization at system architecture level. As many other software visualization systems suffers from the ....

Currently, only the circular arrow is drawn. 5.2. 7 Temporal Uncertainty Time Annotations are depicted using a glyph [Chernoff, 1973, Chuah and Eick, 1997] that can capture all of their complexity (see Figure 5.9) The four time shifts ESS, LSS, EFS and LFS (see section 2.1.3) are shown as vertical lines, on which a bar representing the MaxDu rests. On top of the MaxDu bar, two diamonds (or circles, depending on whether LSS and EFS are defined) ....

....a glyph more complex than a simple bar, that would capture all the (uncertain and possibly undefined) parts of a Time Annotation. A glyph is a graphical object (often vaguely representing a real object, like a face) whose features express the values of certain attributes that are to be shown [1, 2]. A glyph must be distinguished from a metaphor, which usually more closely represents a real object (like the traffic signs used in Topological View) and whose features do not change with values it represents. Our glyph (Figure 3) is also based on a simple metaphor. The four starting and ending ....

But because parallel coordinates do not clearly indicate the relations between the different quantities, they are not useful in this case (and are generally better suited for data in spaces with independent axes) The most promising way of visualizing temporal uncertainty are glyphs [2, 24], or Chernoff faces [1] which is the solution we finally used. A design that is quite similar to the one presented in Section 4.2.3 (but which was developed independently) can be found in [3] Glyphs are graphical objects whose features reflect values, and therefore change their shape or size ....

Methods for architectural reasoning and assessment as described in [20] or [22] could be used for restructuring the architecture. Visualization approaches such as SAAM [11] SeeSys [2] SeeSoft [8] or [3,5,7] deal with the visualization of software in different ways by comparing architectures or architectural styles, visualizing statistics associated with the code, or visualizing source code information. in Proceedings of the International Conference on Software Maintenance 1997 (ICSM 97) 2 We ....
