Introduction Bachelor’s Thesis kick-off presentation, 08.07.2013
Research Objective and Questions • Research Objective: Facilitate model conflict tasks with visualizations to provide an easy understanding of the given model and respective conflicts; enhance the process of solving the conflicts with relevant background information and change memory. • Q1: “How to provide (interactive) visual means to communicate and resolve model conflicts?” • Q1.1: “Which (EA) visualizations are scalable for large (<=1K Objects) EA models?” • Q1.2: “Which layout algorithms are suitable to visualize EA model conflicts?” Bachelor’s Thesis kick-off presentation, 08.07.2013
Approach • Meta information model Bachelor’s Thesis kick-off presentation, 08.07.2013
Approach • Mock-ups # ofobjects Object Type <ApplicationComponent> ConceptA (50) Attribute (10):String [1,1] ! DefinedConcept UndefinedConcept DerivedConcept Legend Infrastructure(10): Relationship [1,*] ! 20 % 80 % 20 % 80 % Attribute Name Attribute Type Cardinalities Bachelor’s Thesis kick-off presentation, 08.07.2013
Approach • Mock-ups <ApplicationComponent> ConceptA (50) Attribute (10):String [1,1] ! Infrastructure(10): Relationship [1,*] ! 20 % 80 % <Infrastructure> Concept B (50) <Infrastructure> ConceptC (50) Attribute (10):String [1,1] ! Attribute (10):String [1,1] !
