[KIEKER-970] New Visualizations (including Interactive, 3D, ...)

[rju]

JIRA Issue: KIEKER-970 New Visualizations (including Interactive, 3D, ...) Original Reporter: Andre van Hoorn

---

To be polished!

Brief explanation:

• (Max. 5-7 sentences)
• Kieker already includes a number of visualizations, e.g., ...
• Cover visualizations based on i. trace analysis/architecture, ii. performance/time series, iii. combination of both
• Mention that we have a set of trace data from case studies, which could be use for the evaluation of the developed visualization

• KIEK-532: Feature wish: Timing diagrams
• KIEK-14: Feature wish: UML Communication Diagrams
• KIEK-793: Feature wish: Basic XY time series plotter
• KIEK-627: Feature wish: Flame graphs
• KIEK-93535: Feature wish: Integration with Graphite/Whisper for storing/displaying time series data
• KIEK-621: Feature wish: Dynamic layout for online trace visualization
• KIEK-1013: Feature wish: Interactive dependency graphs

Expected results:

• 2-3 sentences

Knowledge prerequisite:

• List skills (programming language, technologies, etc.) nice to have and mention that they may be gained during the project (if applicable)

Skill level:

• Low to high, depending on the type(s) of visualizations chosen.

> Idea: Evaluating the impact of dynamic layouts in online trace visualization

Could you turn the online trace visualization aspect into a feature wish ticket, please? (And add it to the list of related tickets above.)

We should provide (somewhere) a list of current visualizations with pictures (including chw's and pdo's work). Should we include 3D here -> extra idea?

We should perhaps priorize our ideas (feature wish tickets)?

E.g., a xy-plot for simple timeseries would be a huge benefit for the project!

Does this ticket include the underlying infrastructure for visualizations? I.e., integration into the webgui, traceanatool, ...? Should the student develop a nice framework for future visualization that can interact with these mentioned components? (the last one could be an own proposal)

So in summary I would split this idea into 3 ideas: normal viz, 3D viz, and viz framework
