“…A critical success factor is creating visual and interaction models that optimally fit the users' mental map [85]. Within space limitations, we outline the following points: 2D vs 3D: Software engineers are used to 2D visualizations, so they will accept these much easier than 3D ones [86]. We found, in our over 10-year work in software visualization, no single case when a 3D visualization was better accepted than a 2D one.…”

Software visual analytics (SVA) tools combine static program analysis and fact extraction with information visualization to support program comprehension. However, building efficient and effective SVA tools is highly challenging, as it involves extensive software development in program analysis, graphics, information visualization, and interaction. We present a SVA toolset for software maintenance, and detail two of its components which target software structure, metrics and code duplication. We illustrate the toolset's usage for constructing software visualizations with examples in education, research, and industrial contexts. We discuss the design evolution from research prototypes to integrated, scalable, and easy-to-use products, and present several guidelines for the development of efficient and effective SVA solutions.

“…Then the immersion lacks value in and off itself, as opposed to VR for entertainment purposes where elevated immersion is sought fiercely. Teyseyre and Campo (2009) represent one attempt at identifying the strengths and weaknesses of 3D visualisation in general. Their findings are shown in Table 1.…”

European companies of today are involved in many stages of the product life cycle. There is a trend towards the view of their business as a complex industrial product-service system (IPSS). This trend shifts the business focus from a traditional product oriented one to a function oriented one. With the function in focus, the seller shares the responsibility of for example maintenance of the product with the buyer. As such IPSS has been praised for supporting sustainable practices. This shift in focus also promotes longevity of products and promotes life extending work on the products such as adaptation and upgrades. Staying competitive requires continuous improvement of manufacturing and services to make them more flexible and adaptive to external changes. The adaptation itself needs to be performed efficiently without disrupting ongoing operations and needs to result in an acceptable after state. Virtual planning models are a key technology to enable planning and design of the future operations in parallel with ongoing operations. This chapter presents an approach to combine digitalization and virtual reality (VR) technologies to create the next generation of virtual planning environments. Through incorporating digitalization techniques such as 3D imaging, the models will reach a new level of fidelity and realism which in turn makes them accessible to a broader group of users and stakeholders. Increased accessibility facilitates a collaborative decision making process that invites and includes cross functional teams. Through such involvement, a broader range of experts, their skills, operational and tacit knowledge can be leveraged towards better planning of the upgrade process. This promises to shorten

Abstract-In practice, recommendation systems have evolved as helpful tools to facilitate and optimize software engineering processes. Serving both developers and managers, specific recommendation systems address their individual problems. Yet, in a number of cases complementing them with other techniques can enhance their use and extend their scope. In this paper, we first discuss different perspectives on softwareengineering processes and examples of recommendation systems that support representatives of these perspectives. We then identify how select software-map techniques can extend recommendation systems to facilitate decision making by addressing the perspectives' information and communication needs.
