14 Semantics of Meta-models What is the semantic domain of the Class Diagram formalism (when used as a meta-modelling language)? 14

15 Textual Languages Modelling Languages/Formalisms 15

16 Textual Languages Textual Languages this sentence is very short Individual letters in an alphabet Combined into words Combined in to sentences in a language Letters in words specified by regular expressions Words in a language specified by a grammar Symbols are combined by is to the right of 16

33 ``Physics'' of Notations Introduction Visual notations pre-date textual ones Visual notations are important for Modelling and Software Engineering Humans are excellent pattern recognizers Need cognitively efficient and effective notations. Cognitive effectiveness = speed, ease and accuracy with which a representation can be processed by the human mind 33 a Lascaux

34 ``Physics'' of Notations Introduction/Rationale Visual notations are often introduced without underlying theory or rationale Many visual notations for same concepts. No rigorous way to compare effectiveness and hence no clear design goal. 34

40 ``Physics'' of Notations Communication Theory 40

41 ``Physics'' of Notations Encoding: 8 visual variables to (graphically) encode information 41

42 ``Physics'' of Notations Decoding automatic, fast, parallel slow, large effort, sequential Appropriate notations» offload some of the burden from cognitive to perceptual Note: dual channel theory : brain processes textual/audio in parallel with visual data 42

43 ``Physics'' of Notations Principles for Designing Efficient and Effective Visual Notations 43

44 ``Physics'' of Notations Semiotic Clarity (semiotics = study of signs and sign processes) 1 to 1 44

45 ``Physics'' of Notations Perceptual Discriminability 45

46 ``Physics'' of Notations Perceptual Discriminability should be easy to distinguish visual symbols ability to distinguish is determined by visual distance larger visual distance» faster, more accurate recognition number of visual variables on which they differ and the size of the differences shape is the main visual variable 13 46

47 ``Physics'' of Notations Perceptual Discriminability Software Enginering notations mostly use rectangle variants Use redundant visual encoding to increase distance (e.g., textual + visual) 47

48 ``Physics'' of Notations Semantic Transparency The meaning of a symbol can be inferred from its appearance (intuitive) Symbols can be: Semantically Immediate Semantically Opaque Semantically Perverse Software Engineering notations are usually abstract (non-intuitive) Domain-specific icons are intuitive 48

49 ``Physics'' of Notations Semantic Transparency 49

50 ``Physics'' of Notations Complexity management (# elements in diagram» cognitive overload) 50

51 ``Physics'' of Notations Modularization/Hierarchy 51

52 ``Physics'' of Notations Cognitive Integration (different notations) Conceptual integration (coherent mental model) Enable navigation and transition between notations 52

53 ``Physics'' of Notations Visual Expressiveness Number of visual variables used (UML, mostly shape, no colour) 8 degrees of visual freedom (0 = non-visual 8 = visually saturated) 53

54 ``Physics'' of Notations Visual Expressiveness Different visual variables have different capacity to encode information 54

55 ``Physics'' of Notations Dual Encoding Combine Textual and Visual Supplement rather than duplicate (e.g., cardinality values) Reinforce meaning 55

56 ``Physics'' of Notations Graphic Economy Not too many symbols. If many, provide legend Limit on human discrimination capability (6 levels per variable) Upper limit on graphic complexity How? 56

57 ``Physics'' of Notations Cognitive Fit Adapt choice of visual notation to Task Audience novices and experts Adaptation may be dynamic ( learn about Task/User proficiency) Representation medium 57

58 ``Physics'' of Notations Interactions among principles 58
