Examining the quality of a set of requirements is a sensible project health check given their role in the engineering of quality software systems. However, not all project stakeholders may recognize the value of requirements audits or inspections, and scrutinizing the details of a requirements document can be perceived to be too time-consuming, distracting and costly an activity to undertake early...
To be provocative, it could be argued that information visualization is a tool in search of an application. This viewpoint becomes most apparent when one seeks to adopt and adapt practices from the information visualization field and attempt to apply them elsewhere. Software engineering is an appealing area in which a number of researchers have been seeking to leverage some of the benefits that information...
With a history of over 300 years, the chemical table is the textbook case of information visualization. This paper explores the development of the chemical table as a tool designed for chemical information visualization. It uses a historical context to investigate the purpose of chemical tables and charts, and suggests reasons why the two-dimensional periodic table remains the de facto standard for...
This paper summarizes the typical objectives and process of visualization and highlights the primary areas in which visualization systems and artifacts have been used to support requirements engineering activities to date. The paper suggests that the field has yet to realize some of the benefits that can arise from a well designed and task-oriented information visualization, falling behind other areas...
CrystalDome is an inexpensive alternative to a volumetric display based on video projector technology that supports omni-directional viewing (Figure 1). It can show mapped spherical surfaces, such as globes, and scenes composed of three- dimensional objects. In the latter case, an algorithm was developed to perform hidden surface elimination in the hemisphere's reference frame. Participants can sit...
A novel asynchronous collaborative visualization system for the chemical sciences has been created as a mash-up between an interactive visualization program and a wiki. The system supports features such as annotation, information foraging, and visualization session playback. Building the system from predefined disparate components was a simple process. Yet, as an integrated whole, the system displays...
The agile process approach used in software engineering was adapted as a foundation for the management of the multimedia art installation project titled "Trigger." By beginning with requirements engineering and risk management assessments, instead of rigid planning, the project was designed with flexibility that allowed for iterative adjustment. The residency period drew the artist, Jody...
