| Abstract | Program visualization has been successfully applied to alleviate the complexities of parallel software development. However, those program visualization tools which utilize the more advanced visualization techniques tend to be too complex and specialpurpose to be generally useful. The use of meta-tools, or tools that construct and manipulate other tools, can be applied to simplify the use of complex environments, but meta-tools for program visualization can still require extensive specification for views and information processing details. This proposal provides a design methodology for program visualization meta-tools for parallel software that simplifies the use of such tools while maintaining a high degree of flexibility and expressive power. The approach is based on a meta-tool circulation architecture model that organizes the details of the user specification, and provides a circulation of information which supports a formal means for indicating relationships among that informatio... |
