Research Conference Presentation June 2009 University of the West of England, Bristol Enabling diagrammatic de-abstraction and modelling of engineering problems Peter Hale – PhD supervision team, Tony Solomonides and Ian Beeson Abstract Problem – * Enable de-abstraction of engineering problems from engineers’ representation to computer models and code * To what extent can diagrammatic representations of problems can be used in order to provide modelling solutions Solutions – * A source tree is created, then translated to computer code, then represented as a result tree Benefits – * Enables engineers to visualise problems such as representation of a product data structure in a familiar way * Gives a visual and colour coded representation of equations * Visualisation is easier to navigate and understand than that in spreadsheets, and more maintainable Wider Implications – * This research could also be used for business modelling, process modelling, and workflow Research Student Conference Paper UWE (University of the West of England) June 2009 , Research Conference Presentation June 2009 , Peter Hales’ User Driven Programming blog
