Gauvin, Simon and Banyasad, Omid (2006): Transparency, holophrasting, and automatic layout applied to control structures for visual dataflow programming languages. In: Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Software Visualization 2006. pp. 67-75.

“Control flow within dataflow visual programming languages such as Prograph is difficult to understand due to hidden dependencies created by the control structures that desperate code blocks into independent views. We have created a model arising from research on ReactoGraph -- a derivative of Prograph -- that allows code in a general class of dataflow programming languages to be controlled based on nested graph structures. These structures, aimed at removing hidden dependencies, provide a reasonable alternative to Prograph's case control structures. However, they have also been found to introduce some usability problems such as low tolerance to code layout modification and difficulties scaling the number of code elements as nesting depth increases. In this paper we present a novel use of various software visualization techniques applied to these nested control structures in order to enable effective modification and scalability of code for improved comprehension and programming performance.”

Cox, Philip, Gauvin, Simon and Rau-Chaplin, Andrew (2005): Adding parallelism to visual data flow programs. In: Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Software Visualization 2005. pp. 135-144.

“Programming in parallel is an error-prone and complex task compounded by the lack of tool support for both programming and debugging. Recent advances in compiler-directed shared memory APIs, such as OpenMP, have made shared-memory parallelism more widely accessible for users of traditional procedural languages: however, the mechanisms provided are difficult to use and error-prone. This paper examines the use of visual notations for data flow programming to enable the creation of shared memory parallel programs. We present a model, arising from research on the ReactoGraph visual programming language, that allows code in a general class of visual data flow languages to be parallelized using visual annotations, and discuss the advantages this has over current textual methods.”
