Abstract-Within the Austrian Grid project phase 2, three different groups, each allocated to a different workpackage, join their efforts to implement a grid infrastructure for the european research project "Breath Gas Analysis for molecular oriented diseases". This position paper provides background on the task and the resulting requirements, a presentation on solutions developed during related projects in the application domain, identifies problems that have not yet been solved, and finally presents the intended solution to be developed.
An application's user documentation, also referred to as the user manual, is one of the core elements required in application distribution. While there exist many tools to aid an application's developer in creating and maintaining documentation on and for the code itself, there are no tools that complement code development with user documentation for modern graphical applications.Approaches like literate programming are not applicable to this scenario, as not a library, but a full application is to be documented to an end-user. Documentation generation on applications up to now was only partially feasible due to the gap between the code and its semantics.The new generation of Eclipse rich client platform developed applications is based on an application model, closing a broad semantic gap between code and visible interface. We use this application model to provide a semantic description for the contained elements. Combined with the internal relationships of the application model, these semantic descriptions are aggregated to well-structured user documentations that comply to the ISO/IEC 26514.This paper delivers a report on theÉcrit research project, where the potentials and limitations of user documentation generation based on the Eclipse application model were investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
