A Study of Interactive Visualization Literature Browser Reusability Using Component-Based Software Engineering Approach
摘要
Designing software tools from the ground up can be complex and resource-intensive. Reusing existing components or designs offers a solution by saving time and allowing them to be applied across various domains. This adaptability is particularly crucial in data analytics and visualization, where effective management of complex datasets is essential. Besides, classification and taxonomy systems are important concepts in data visualization as they facilitate a deeper understanding of topics such as research synthesis and literature reviews. Existing tools such as the Locomotion Vault demonstrate the way an interactive literature browser can improve the accessibility and comprehensibility of complex information. This work investigates the reusability of Locomotion Vault beyond its original scope and evaluates its effectiveness in a new domain by highlighting the reusability approach and evaluation of the system’s usability. The related works, methodology, and preliminary results are discussed, and the paper concludes with suggestions for future works and development.
