This book presents the state of the art in software visualization and thus attempts to establish it as a field on its own. Based on a seminar held at Dagstuhl Castle in May 2001, the book offers topical sections on:
- algorithm animation
- software visualization and software engineering
- software visualization and education
- graphs in software visualization
- and perspectives of software visualization.
Each section starts with an introduction surveying previous and current work and providing extensive bibliographies.
