Abstract: Most of the white box reuse activities can be achieved through a graphical representation of software components along with operations defined on them. So far, in the software reuse community, the emphasis has been mostly on the algorithmic aspect of these operations. Little attention has been paid to the graph visualization of the components. On the other hand, the graph drawing community has been developing sophisticated algorithms for graph visualization. It is our belief that software reuse is in great need of advanced visualization techniques and tools, and that the time is ripe to merge the two efforts for mutual benefits.Keywords: white box reuse, visualization, program slicing, graph drawing.
Workshop Goals: Assessing the pertinence of our ideas; learning; networking.
Working Groups: component issues.
