  • Managing Data Visualization Pipeline with Backbone.Js and D3.Js Improving Overall Software Efficiency Using Automated Build Pipeline with Gulp
    Aalto University School of Science Master's Programme in ICT Innovation Taha Kachwala Managing Data Visualization Pipeline with Backbone.js and D3.js Improving overall software efficiency using Automated Build Pipeline with Gulp Master's Thesis Espoo, 10.10.2016 Supervisor: Prof. Petri Vuorimaa Instructor: Pertti Lounamaa Aalto University School of Science ABSTRACT OF Master's Programme in ICT Innovation MASTER'S THESIS Author: Taha Kachwala Title: Managing Data Visualization Pipeline with Backbone.js and D3.js. Improving overall software efficiency using Automated Build Pipeline with Gulp Date: 10.10.2016 Pages: 87 Professorship: Digital Media Technology Code: T-111 Supervisor: Prof. Petri Vuorimaa Instructor: Petri Lounamaa Ph.D. (Economic Systems) This thesis studies how a Model-View-Controller (MV*) framework can be integrated into a Data Visualization Pipeline. Specifically, this thesis aims to cover the challenges related in integrating an MV* framework like Backbone.js with D3.js, which is a popular JavaScript based visualization library. Additionally, it also evaluates another sub-topic regarding task runners, which are tools claiming to automate manual tasks as well as streamlining the build process. Data Visualization has become an important aspect for many web applications. Developers need to employ sophisticated mechanisms to provide interactive visualizations. This requires separation of concerns within the visualization pipeline which is achieved with the combination of Backbone.js and D3.js. Evaluation of this methodology indicates that such a combination enables the application to be more versatile and robust while also improving performance. In recent years, client-side web applications have become increasingly complex. A typical web application on average requires between 10-60 external open-source JavaScript libraries.

  • Programming Web Applications Declaratively a Qualitative Study
    PROGRAMMING WEB APPLICATIONS DECLARATIVELY A QUALITATIVE STUDY A Thesis by PAWAN KUMAR SINGH Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Chair of Committee, Jaakko Järvi Co-Chair of Committee, Jeff Huang Committee Member, Alex Sprintson Head of Department, Dilma Da Silva August 2016 Major Subject: Computer Science Copyright 2016 Pawan Kumar Singh ABSTRACT In the declarative programming approach of property models, a dataflow con- straint system manages the behavior of a user interface. The dataflow constraint system captures the user-interface logic as a set of variables and dependencies be- tween those variables. This thesis builds on the prior work that realizes the property models approach as a concrete library for web development called HotDrink. This thesis evaluates the effectiveness of the declarative programming approach of prop- erty models, describes the experience of implementing a medium-size web application following the approach, and compares property models with existing web frameworks. A particular focus is on how programming with property models helps programmers to avoid defects related to asynchronous execution of responses to user events. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my advisor Dr. Jaakko Järvi for the continuous support, patience and immense knowledge. His guidance helped me throughout, from theoretical concepts to research approach. The weekly meetings and discussions have trained me a lot and helped me in becoming a better researcher. I am also thankful for his constructive feedback I received while writing this thesis.
