Assistant Professor Xavier Le Pallec, University of Lille, France.

 

Organizer

Professor Kari Systä, Tampere University of Technology, Finland.

Background

Visual notations and visual analytics have been used software development for decades, but latest tools and methods – and especially utilization of data analysis - have opened totally new opportunities to visualize software and its development process.

 

This summer school will address some of the latest developments and research results in using visualization in software engineering.

 

The topics covered in the seminar include:

  • Visualization of various aspects of quality and structure in software engineering.
  • Good practices for the design of visualizations.
  • Modern use and extension to UML for efficient coding activity

 

The summer school will include both lecturing and hand-on exercises.
