Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Nowadays component applications can easily consist of hundreds or thousands of components and it is thus difficult to understand their structure. Earlier, we proposed a novel approach of removing large part of connections from the diagram while preserving the information about component interconnections. It uses a separated components area to remove the components with a big amount of connections from the main diagram. For each component in this area, clustered interfaces are shown instead of all interfaces, with the ability to show details on demand. In this work we present the implementation of this technique as a web application and a reverse-engineering solution for component applications.
