Abstract

There are numerous forms for dynamic models, which specify how an object or scene behaves over time. Discrete state automata, Petri nets, and data flow graphs are only a few samples of model types available, which aid modelers in capturing dynamics. Whereas most modeling frameworks employ rigidly defined textual or 2D symbols for representing such abstract entities as state, event, and function, we present a system called rube that allows the modeler to craft models in 3D, and with personalized metaphors. The advantages of this system lie in the education of modeling dynamic systems, and in the exploitation of customization in the user interface. We use extensible 3D (X3D), and XML technology, to demonstrate rube, along with an example.

Conceptual modeling for customized XML schemas
Special issue: ER 2002

XML was initially developed for document management, but it is becoming increasingly used for storing and exchanging all kinds of data on the Internet. In this paper, we introduce a design methodology for XML schemas that is based upon well-understood ...
Development of an XML-document compaction method to improve data-processing performance

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is the global standardized form for representing digital data. It is flexible and extensible, but on the other hand uses vast amounts of main memory for data processing, thus representing a burden. In order to resolve ...
