[comp.software-eng] Graphical Query of Program Elements

ellenberger@tle.enet.dec.com (John Ellenberger) (10/24/90)

We are working on a piece of software that allows users to cross-reference
and browse source code elements (i.e. variables, calls, etc.).  Currently
the query and display of results is mostly ASCII with some formatting.
Ideally the version with the windowed UI would at least display results
graphically (i.e. call trees, etc.).  In addition it would be nice to
be able to use these results to construct further queries.

We are interested in research that has been done in the area of graphical
construction of queries and display of results, particularly related to
software elements.  If you have an pointers to such research, please reply
by mail.  

Thanks.
