Software engineers routinely use sketches (informal, ad-hoc drawings) to visualize and communicate complex ideas for colleagues or themselves. We hypothesize that sketching could also be used as a novel interaction modality in integrated software ...

The design, development and deployment of scientific computing applications can be quite complex as they require scientific, High-Performance Computing (HPC), and software engineering expertise. Often, HPC applications are however developed by end users ...

Component trees are region-based representations that encode the inclusion relationship of the threshold sets of an image. These representations are one of the most promising strategies for the analysis and the interpretation of spatial information ...

Powerful software tools, such as software development environments, often have complex graphical user interfaces (GUIs) that are not intuitive to handle, especially when performing complex, multi-step operations. We hypothesize that sketching could be ...
