“…In the following, we present the experiment's procedure. For additional information, we refer readers to the second prepared video 8 that demonstrates an exemplary experiment run. Overall, the experiment is divided into pre-questionnaire, mid-questionnaires, i.e., questions that had to be solved after each task completion, and post-questionnaire.…”

“…Code proximity means the ability of the visualization tool to provide easy and fast access to the original, underlying source code [7]. In this context, research approaches have been shown in the past that embed SV into code editors and IDEs (both from now on referred to as code editor) to link source code with its visualization [8]- [11].…”

Software visualizations are usually realized as standalone and isolated tools that use embedded code viewers within the visualization. In the context of program comprehension, only few approaches integrate visualizations into code editors, such as integrated development environments. This is surprising since professional developers consider reading source code as one of the most important ways to understand software, therefore spend a lot of time with code editors.In this paper, we introduce the design and proof-of-concept implementation for a software visualization approach that can be embedded into code editors. Our contribution differs from related work in that we use dynamic analysis of a software system's runtime behavior. Additionally, we incorporate distributed tracing. This enables developers to understand how, for example, the currently handled source code behaves as a fully deployed, distributed software system. Our visualization approach enhances common remote pair programming tools and is collaboratively usable by employing shared code cities. As a result, user interactions are synchronized between code editor and visualization, as well as broadcasted to collaborators.To the best of our knowledge, this is the first approach that combines code editors with collaboratively usable code cities. Therefore, we conducted a user study to collect first-time feedback regarding the perceived usefulness and perceived usability of our approach. We additionally collected logging information to provide more data regarding time spent in code cities that are embedded in code editors. Seven teams with two students each participated in that study. The results show that the majority of participants find our approach useful and would employ it for their own use. We provide each participant's video recording, raw results, and all steps to reproduce our experiment as supplementary package. Furthermore, a live demo of our tool is available online. 1 We invite other researchers to extend our opensource software. 2 Video URL: https://youtu.be/3qZVSehnEug

“…It would exactly provide an improved tool with meaningful touches that makes them more helpful [18]. The interface that focuses on the nature of visualizing including picturing, understanding, explaining and memorizing [19][20] [21]; can be more effective with the injection of persuasive elements [22]. It seems like an injection of driving elements, persuasion, guidance and influence in to the visual interface can be done in order to assist user understandings [22][23] [24] [25].…”

The home network has become a norm in today's life. Previous studies have shown that home network management is a problem for users who are not in the field of network technology. The existing network management tools are far too difficult to understand by ordinary home network users. Its interface is complex, and does not address the home user's needs in their daily use. This paper presents an interactive network management tool, which emphasizes support features for home network users. The tool combine interactive visual appearance with persuasive approach that support sustainability. It is not only understandable to all categories of home network users, but also acts as a feature for the user to achieve usability.

“…También permite definir características lógicas de las clases como expresiones OWL, ejecutar razonadores tales como los clasificadores de descripción lógica y la edición de individuos para el contexto de la Web Semántica. Así mismo, contiene funcionalidad para visualizar los modelos ontológicos [160,2], con diversos plugins como Jambalaya [11,185], GraphViz [60] y TGVizTab [3], que se muestra en la Figura 2.7.…”

Los resultados de las evaluaciones han indicado, por un lado, que los procesos, los flujos de trabajo y las tareas definidas, son coherentes con los objetivos definidos. Este resultado se debe en gran parte a que estas tareas se han adaptado a partir de metodologías previamente definidas. Por otro lado, la evaluación de funcionalidad en el caso de estudio, ha permitido detectar algunos aspectos mejorables, así como también ha servido para la validación general de la herramienta y las diversas técnicas de visualización e interacción implementadas en ella.
