TLDR
This paper explores fisheye views presenting, in turn, naturalistic studies, a general formalism, a specific instantiation, a resulting computer program, example displays and an evaluation.Abstract:
In many contexts, humans often represent their own “neighborhood” in great detail, yet only major landmarks further away. This suggests that such views (“fisheye views”) might be useful for the computer display of large information structures like programs, data bases, online text, etc. This paper explores fisheye views presenting, in turn, naturalistic studies, a general formalism, a specific instantiation, a resulting computer program, example displays and an evaluation.read more

Information visualization and visual data mining
TL;DR: This paper proposes a classification of information visualization and visual data mining techniques which is based on the data type to be visualized, the visualization technique, and the interaction and distortion technique.

Tree-maps: a space-filling approach to the visualization of hierarchical information structures
TL;DR: The tree-map visualization technique makes 100% use of the available display space, mapping the full hierarchy onto a rectangular region in a space-filling manner, which allows very large hierarchies to be displayed in their entirety and facilitates the presentation of semantic information.

A program development tool
TL;DR: This paper describes how a number of tools (most of which understand a particular programming language) are combined into a single system to aid in the reading, writing, and running of programs.
The ZOG approach to man-machine communication
TL;DR: ZOG is a rapid response, large network, menu selection system used for man?machine communication as discussed by the authors, which was first developed by the PROMIS (Problem Oriented Medical Information System) Laboratory of the University of Vermont.
Design of a multi-language editor with static error detection capabilities
TL;DR: The Babel set of programming tools, which includes an editor that presents a text-like interface to the user, and human factors involving temporarily incorrect programs, program formatting, and responsiveness of the editor are addressed.
