Abstract

Hierarchical graphs provide a data structure to support a programming model that aims to improve understandability by creating an architectural basis for building inspectable systems.We engage developers in constructing and exposing a runtime model of a system in a clear and structured way, thereby enabling them to build inspectable systems. This approach rests on the intuition that by supporting inspection at the developers' level of detail, for their own use and benefit, the system provides a sufficient basis for differently targeted accounts. The basic runtime model we rely on can be used to create system representations tailored to serve specialized application-specific purposes.Our approach centers on a reflective data structure we call an H-graph (short for hierarchical graph) and the programming model focused around it. Equally important, the data structure supplies part of the programming model to build reflective software in general.
