Abstract

The objective behind building domain-specific visual languages (DSVLs) is to provide users with the most appropriate concepts and notations that best fit with their domain and experience. However, the existing DSVL designers do not support integrating environment and user context information when modeling, editing or viewing DSVL models at different locations, permissions, devices, etc. In this paper, we introduce HorusCML, a context-aware DSVL designer, which supports DSVL experts in integrating necessary context details within their DSVLs. The resultant DSVLs can reflect different facets, layouts, and behaviours according to context it is used in. We show a case study on developing a context-aware data flow diagram DSVL tool using HorusCML.

Conference

Conference	IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing 2014
Abbreviated title	VL/HCC 2014
Country/Territory	Australia
City	Melbourne
Period	28/07/14 → 1/08/14
Other	The IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing (VL/HCC) is the premier international forum for research on this topic. Established in 1984, the mission of the conference is to support the design, theory, application, and evaluation of computing technologies and languages for programming, modeling, and communicating, which are easier to learn, use, and understand by people. We will hold the IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing between July 28-Aug 1, 2014 in Melbourne, Australia, co-located with DIAGRAMS 2014
