I'm currently pursuing a master's degree at California State University at Sacramento in Software Engineering. Since I don't know if I'll want to pursue a PhD I keep my eyes open at what is happening at UC Davis since I'm not going to consider any other school. Even if I don't pursue it or (perish the thought!) am not accepted after I apply, I find the work they are doing interesting. Here is my first of a series on things going on there that I find interesting.
This article titled StarGate: A Unied, Interactive Visualization of Software Projects intrigues me since one of my core beliefs is the centrality of people to the improvement of the software development process. Many academics still pursue strategies that hinder the process by injecting too much automated process. Social networking nicely balances human goals with computer mediated communication.
A term that was new to me in the paper was radial space-filling hierachy. This paper at the German University at Cairo gave me a quick review of this term and many others which will be helpful in visualizations.
