The Design and Evaluation of a Modern C++ Library

Conference Proceeding
Chalmers, K. (2016)
The Design and Evaluation of a Modern C++ Library. In Communicating Process Architectures 2016
Although many CSP inspired libraries exist, none yet have targeted modern C++ (C++11 onwards). The work presented has a main objective of providing a new C++ CSP library which...

Conference Proceeding
Kerracher, N., Kennedy, J., Chalmers, K., & Graham, M. (2015)
Visual techniques to support exploratory analysis of temporal graph data. In E. Bertini, J. Kennedy, & E. Puppo (Eds.), Proceedings of the Eurographics Conference on Visualization (EuroVis '15), Short Papers Track, (103-107). https://doi.org/10.2312/eurovisshort.20151133
Recently, much research has focused on developing techniques for the visual representation of temporal graph data. This paper takes a wider look at the visual techniques invol...

The design space of temporal graph visualisation.

Conference Proceeding
Kerracher, N., Kennedy, J., & Chalmers, K. (2014)
The design space of temporal graph visualisation. In N. Elmqvist, M. Hlawitschka, & J. Kennedy (Eds.), Proceedings of the 18th Eurographics Conference on Visualization (EuroVis '14)https://doi.org/10.2312/eurovisshort.20141149
This paper presents our work in mapping the design space of techniques for temporal graph visualisation. We identify two independent dimensions upon which the techniques can b...
