1. Can the usage of SeeSoft be extended to other applications, such as for books instead of files?
2. PV really sounds cool, but can it be implemented independent of platforms?

1. How much "preprocessing" is needed in order to setup the trace
for PV to use (possibility to use on systems other than AIX)? 2. Can we do something reverse with QOCA (i.e. use it to design OO structures and in turn it outputs the corresponding code)?
Will Dover:
1. Part of most OO languages is the ability to overload operators, with the implementation very similar to that of member functions. Should this not also be represented in an inter-class call matrix?
2. Also part of most OO languages is virtual functions. How would one develop a display scheme that would adequately track which class owned the version of the particular virtual function?
X. Hua DU:
1. The SeeSoft system tries to pack a lot of information into one view. It might be good for representing some basic feature of the system as a whole. However, it takes time for users to figure out what is really going on because of the visualization complexity.
2. QOCA proposed a nice idea to use matrix, instead of network graph, to show the messaging behavior of the system. It can not only show the current function call but also keep cumulative information. Any comments on this?
