Abstract

A software visualization is defined by an abstract software model, views on this model and a mapping between them. For creating new visualizations, we online-configure views and their mappings instead of hand-coding them. In this paper, we introduce an architecture allowing such an online configuration and, as a proof of concept, a framework implementing this architecture. In several examples, we demonstrate generality and flexibility of our approach.
