Abstract

This research demonstration presents the tool, Dynamic Interactive Views for Reverse Engineering (Diver). Diver supports software understanding through a trace focused user interface. The trace focused user interface is a method of re-organizing the user interface of integrated development environments so that developers can focus their attention on artifacts related to the run-time behaviour of the software that they are investigating. The tool combines concepts from research in software visualization, dynamic analysis, software reconnaissance, and task focused user interfaces.

Using AI Techniques to Create User Interfaces by Example

Creating user interfaces is a very difficult task. Existing tools to help create user interfaces, called User Interface Management Systems (UIMSs) have typically been very difficult to use and have not addressed the modern, highly-interactive interfaces ...
