Domain-specific visual language tools have become important in many domains of software
engineering and end user development. However building such tools is very challenging …

Developing software engineering tools is a difficult task, and the environments in which
these tools are deployed continually evolve as software developers' processes, tools and …

Software is growing ever-more complex and new software processes, methods and products
put greater demands on software engineers than ever before. The support of appropriate …

There is nearly no conference on graphics, multimedia, and user interfaces that does not
include a section on constraint-based graphics; on the other hand most conferences on …

Domain-specific visual language editors are useful in many areas of software engineering
but developing such editors is challenging and time-consuming. We describe an approach …

Programmers have always been curious about what their programs are doing while it is
executing, especially when the behavior is not what they are expecting. Since program …
