  1. Visualization of Message Passing By: Jesse Szwedko

  2. Literature Survey • Yielded a few different approaches: • Information murals • Theard Arcs • prefuse

  3. Information murals Used to visualize interactions between objects and functions in, specifically, C++ programs Uses a modified call graph Allows user to identify message patterns visually (built on top of Motif) Jerding, D.F. and Stasko, J.T. and Ball, T. Visualizing message patterns in object-oriented program executions. ICSE'97

  4. Information murals Jerding, D.F. and Stasko, J.T. and Ball, T. and Georgia Institute of Technology. Graphics, Visualization and Usability Center Visualizing message patterns in object-oriented program executions 1996

  5. Information murals Jerding, D.F. and Stasko, J.T. and Ball, T. and Georgia Institute of Technology. Graphics, Visualization and Usability Center Visualizing message patterns in object-oriented program executions 1996

  6. Jerding, D.F. and Stasko, J.T. and Ball, T. and Georgia Institute of Technology. Graphics, Visualization and Usability Center Visualizing message patterns in object-oriented program executions 1996

  7. Thread Arcs Visualize messages in a conversational style (similar to gmail.com) Differentiate between contributors and recipients Performs well for “bushy” threads Kerr, B., Thread arcs: An email thread visualization. 2003. InfoVis 2003

  8. Thread Arcs

  9. Thread Arcs

  10. prefuse Java and XML based Very flexible and simple to use Heer, J. and Card, S.K. and Landay, J.A. Prefuse: a toolkit for interactive information visualization. CHI'05
