Visualization tool can be divided by three components - data I/O, visual transformation and interactive rendering. In this paper, we present requirements of three major components on visualization tools for massive scientific dataset and propose strategies to develop the tool which satisfies those requirements. In particular, we present how to utilize open source softwares to efficiently realize our goal. Furthermore, we also study the way to combine several open source softwares which are separately made to produce a single visualization software and optimize it for realtime visualization of massiv espatio-temporal scientific dataset. Finally, we propose a distributed shared memory based scientific visualization tool which is called "GLOVE". We present a performance comparison among GLOVE and well known open source visualization tools such as ParaView and VisIt.

In our domestic software industries, it is focused on such a high quality development/ testing process, maturity measurement, and so on. But the real industrial fields are still working on a code-centric development. Most of the existing legacy systems did not keep the design and highly increased the code complexity with more patching of the original codes. To solve this problem, we adopt a code visualization technique which is important to reduce the code complexity among modules. To do this, we suggest a tool chaining method based on the existing open source software tools, which extends NIPA's Software Visualization techniques applied to procedural languages. In addition, it should be refactored to fix bad couplings of the quality measurement indicators within the code visualization. As a result, we can apply reverse engineering to the legacy code, that is, from programming via model to architecture, and then make high quality software with this approach.

Visualization is a science which makes the invisible to visible through the techniques of experimental visualization and computer-aided visualization. This paper presents the practical aspects of visualization of multivariate dataset. In this paper, we will briefly discuss a previous research work and introduce a new visualization technique which will help us to design and develop a visualization tool for experimental visualization of multivariate dataset. Our newly developed visualization tool can be used in various domains. In this paper, we have chosen a software industry as an application domain and we used the multivariate dataset of software components computed by VizzMaintenance. VizzMaintenance is software analysis tool which give us multiple software metrics of open source Java based programs. Main objective of this research is to develop a new visualization tool for large multivariate dataset which will be more efficient and easy to perceive by viewer. Perception is very important for our research work and we have decided to test the perception level of our proposed visualization approach by researchers of our research lab.

One distinguishing feature of BIM(Building Information Modeling) is the objectification of spatial elements independently, which makes it easy to represent spatial network. From this perspective, this study aimed to develop the spatial network analysis tool based on open BIM technologies. From the literature review, an object model of spatial network with nodes and links and a process model from construction to visualization were established. A prototype system implementing the proposed models, named SNAT(Spatial Network Analysis Tool), was developed in Java platform with using its open source packages. SNAT can create a spatial network from IFC-BIM model, calculate the indices of spatial network analysis, and visualize it with the representing types(map, graph, matrix and table).

For high-quality software development, it is necessary to detect and fix the defects inserted. If defect management activities are not properly performed, it will lead to the project delay and project failure due to rework. Therefore, organizations need to establish defect management process and institutionalize it. Process standard models handle defect management in the area of project monitoring and control. However, small organizations experience difficulties in implementing and applying defect management process in a real situation. In this paper, we propose a defect management process for small organization which is designed in accordance with the characteristics of a small projects such as few participants and short development period. The proposed defect management process will be based on a tool chain with open source software such as Redmine, Subversion, Maven, Jenkins that support a defect management process and SW Visualization in systematic way. We also proposed a way of constructing defect database and various methods of analyzing and controlling defect data based on it. In an effort to prove the effectiveness of the proposed process, we applied the process and tool chain to a small organization.

The flight information visualization of the aircraft is the system which is widely used to the threat against low altitude tasks and terrain altitude. But, it is difficult to implement the system because of restrictions that GPS data and huge geographic information should be stored. In this paper, it proposes economic DMM (Digital Moving Map) system for flight information visualization from open-source-base. First, the flight information is transferred from X-Plane through UDP and then demonstrated on the DMM system. In the proposed DMM system, flight information is visualized on the map information downloaded from an ArcGIS Map server using the mapping data between the present altitude of the aircraft and the terrain altitude. The result of this paper could be used an economic tool in the field of flight information visualization and the game algorithm research.

Because of the invisible nature of software and the bad coding habits (bad smell) of the existing developers, there are many redundant codes and unnecessary codes, which increases the complexity and makes it difficult to upgrade software. Therefore, it is required a code visualization so that developers can easily and automatically identify the complexity of the source code. To do this, it is necessary to construct SW visualization tool based on open source software and redefine the coupling and cohesion according to the object oriented viewpoint. Specially to identify a bad smell code pattern, we suggest how to plug-in diverse parsers within our tool. In this paper, through redefining coupling and cohesion from an object oriented perspective, we will extract bad smell code patterns within source code from inputting any pattern into the tool.

The amount of image data used in medical institution is increasing rapidly with great development of medical technology. Therefore, an automation method that use image processing description, rather than manual macrography of doctors, is required for the analysis large medical data. Specially, medical image registration, which is the process of finding the spatial transform that maps points from one image to the corresponding points in another image, and 3D analysis and visualization skills for a series of 2D images are essential technologies. However, a high establishment cost raise a budget problem, and hence small scaled hospitals hesitate importing these medical visualizing system. In this paper, we propose a visualization system which allows user to manage datasets and manipulates medical images registration using an open source graphics tool - VTK(Visualization Tool Kit). The propose of our research is to get more accurate 3D diagnosis system in less expensive price, compared to existing systems.

Chart suggestion method provided by various existing data visualization tools makes chart recommendations without considering the user intention. Data visualization is not properly carried out and thus, unclear in some tools because they do not follow the segmented quantitative data classification policy. This paper provides a guideline that clearly classifies the quantitative input data and that effectively suggests charts based on user intention. The guideline is two-fold; the analysis guideline examines the quantitative data and the suggestion guideline recommends charts based on the input data type and the user intention. Following this guideline, we excluded charts in disagreement with the user intention and confirmed that the time user spends in the chart selection process has decreased.

Bioinformatics education can be defined as the teaching and learning of how to use software tools, along with mathematical and statistical analysis, to solve biological problems. Although many resources are available, most students still struggle to understand even the simplest sequence alignment algorithms. Applying visualizations to these topics benefits both lecturers and students. Unfortunately, educational software for visualizing step-by-step processes in the user experience of sequence alignment algorithms is rare. In this article, an educational visualization tool for biological sequence alignment is presented, and the source code is released in order to encourage the collaborative power of open-source software, with the expectation of further contributions from the community in the future. Two different modules are integrated to enable a student to investigate the characteristics of alignment algorithms.
