Abstract:
Abstract. The classical view of a register-based abstract machine is a barrier for understanding the execution of object-oriented programs. We visualize program execution based on the object-oriented paradigm with its objects and the message flows between them. For this we propose a visualisation for intuitive understanding of object-oriented based program executions. Three dimensional animated illustrations are created from UML diagrams. We do not visualize explaining an algorithm, but giving a tool to aid the intuitive understanding of object-oriented program execution. Our Java prototype uses an XML structure created by "Together" representing UML diagrams to transform into VRML that can be displayed in web browsers. 1
