Second international workshop on Layout of (Software) Engineering diagrams (LED’08)
Andrew Fish, Harald Störrle · Proceedings/Proceedings -- IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing · 2008
Traditionally, diagrams play an important role in many disciplines from electrical engineering (e.g. Karnaugh diagrams), civil and mechanical engineering (construction plans), geography (maps), and so on. In Software Engineering, diagrammatic languages like IDEF, UML or ARIS are commonplace today. With the rise of model driven development and domain specific languages, such languages will be even more widespread in the future. All in all, diagrams play an important role in the communication among engineers.
