Program comprehension experiences with GXL; comprehension for comprehension

Visualization environment for reviewing and experimenting with compaction equipment trajectories in context

“…In the construction domain it is acknowledged that the development and utilization of specialized VEs is one of the promising research directions [7]. With regard to representing conducted processes, three-dimensional visualizations add an element of familiarity and realism into systems [33], helpful to better understand the documented projects. Also, visualizing simulations can substantially help in making optimal decisions where traditional methods prove ineffective or are unfeasible [31].…”

“…Interactions between the trajectories and their context can be carefully studied and assessed with the help of 3D Visualization Environments (VEs) due to their capabilities to ''provide insights and understanding and reduce complexity of the phenomena under consideration" [33]. In line with VEs available in other domains, construction-oriented environments can be classified as either oriented to review conducted equipment trajectories in context (e.g.…”

Assessing the influence of import-coupling on OCL expression maintainability: A cognitive theory-based perspective

“…A predictive representation of real world systems is called a mental model [66]. Mental models play an important role in software comprehension and correspondingly in comprehension-related tasks, such as modification and debugging [74,53]. Mental models are part of the dimension of Direction of Comprehension that refers to approaches regarding how programmers comprehend software.…”

Comprehension of software analysis data using 3D visualization

“…Additionally, the use of 3D representations of software in new mediums, such as virtual reality environments, are starting to be explored [13,14]. In our view the design of these representations and the underlying mapping to the data is the most important aspect for a successful 3D visualization.…”
