TITLE
Software Visualization: Principles, Practice, Myths, Perils, Promises, Evaluation, and all the rest
ABSTRACT
The title says it all: In this talk I will introduce the principles that govern software visualization, and show through a series of examples how they can be applied in practice. Furthermore I will reflect on how such research can be evaluated.
