“…Software development is just one of many application domains that we address with our system Mother. In particular its capability of handling spatial structures makes it a generic problem solving tool in various areas, including police investigations [2,4] and intelligence analysis [3].…”

Software applications become more and more dominant in our daily life and work. However, it is very difficult to provide sophisticated tools for all arising use cases. End-User Development (EUD) is a term that describes the development of applications by end users rather than professional developers. This enables them creating highly specialized solutions. End users are laypersons when it comes to building software, therefore they need appropriate tools for managing the whole development process. This includes designing, implementing and deploying applications. While there are already various tools available, we focus on a recommendation feature for graphical EUD tools, utilizing their spatial hypertext capabilities. In this paper we provide an overview of some common issues such tools are often struggling with. We explain how visually analyzing the workspace, parsing an implicit spatial hypertext and eventually presenting recommendations may tackle them. We further describe the project HEIMDALL in detail, especially the way of generating recommendations for software modules with the aim to raise users' awareness. Furthermore, we discuss the use of such a system that reaches a similar understanding of relationships between software modules as users have. Finally, we point to open issues that still need to be addressed to improve results and their presentation.

“…Another spectrum of solutions focuses on supporting the overall experience and collaborative aspects of the police investigation analysis. For the traditional crime investigation and law enforcement, the work of Atzenbeck et al [2] addresses team communication and collaborative analysis through the use of a spatial hypertext tool. Zhao et al propose the integration of collaboration tools to a system they call COPLINK [4] -an IT system for crime investigation -focusing on both intra-agency [16] and interagency [15] cooperation.…”

In this paper we present the design, implementation and preliminary evaluation of Re-Collision, a prototype collision reconstruction tabletop interface. Re-Collision was developed through a participatory design process involving expert users from the Calgary Police Forensics Team and Collision Reconstruction Team. We briefly cover fundamental domain characteristics emerging from interview sessions and explain how these informed the design of Re-Collision. The paper details our current prototype implementation and discusses results of a design critique conducted with domain experts using our system, helping us assess the potential of tabletop interfaces as aids in the process of collision reconstruction, as well as delineate and discuss relevant design implications.

“…For example, we have previously discussed related forms of hypertext for police investigations [4,6] and intelligence analysis [5]. Hypertext narrative is equally important to historical writing [28,7], technical writing [9], and education [38], and has made a significant contribution to contemporary literature [32,14,29].…”

As multitouch phones and tablets become more popular, multitouch technologies receive increasing attention. The underlying interaction paradigm of such devices is the space on which objects are manipulated by the user's fingertips. It is natural that hypertext narratives find their way from primarily mouse-driven interaction to spatial structures and visually rich presentations. In this article we propose three features for multitouch hypertext narrative applications: (i) Native multitouch support and direct manipulations of fictive objects; (ii) using the space as a structuring mechanism rather than a means for presentation; and (iii) supporting presentation of visually rich objects. Our prototype, Touch-Story, is a novel tool specialized for authoring and reading hypertext narratives that integrates these features.
