Software Visualization Research
Software Visualization (SV) is an active research field in software engineering that uses graphics and animation to illustrate different aspects of software. SV systems can be utilized in program development, research, and teaching to help programmers and learners understand the structure, abstract and concrete execution as well as the evolution of software.
The mission of research in Software Visualization area is to develop advanced software visualization methods for algorithm animation and simulation, visual testing and debugging, and information retrieval systems. In addition, we design and implement visualization tools for educational purposes. Especially we want to promote interaction between the learner and the system as well as give meaningful feedback for the learner by means of automatic assessment. We also research the usefulness of such software in various applications.
