Hierarchical Model Browser
The hierarchical model browser is a step toward giving the developer better tools for reasoning about models that have been implemented into code. The browser consists of an index of displayed variables on the left, a legend of colors on the right, and in the center the graphical representation of the model. Nodes represent variables from the code, and edges represent dependencies from the equations. A directed edge goes from blue to red, and a two-way edge is magenta. The interface provides easy navigation through a complex graph, such as traversing neighbors or pruning irrelevant parts. The visualization runs as a plugin to JSim. The model browser also uses Prefuse, a Java-based toolkit for building interactive information visualization applications.

This feature is being developed by Gary Yngve (UW Computer Science Department). We expect it to be available for JSim by mid-2007.
