The Impact of Secondary Notation on Process Model Understanding
"... Abstract. Models of business processes are usually created and presented using some visual notation. In this way, one can express important activities, milestones, and actors of a process using interconnected graphical symbols. While it has been established for other types of models that their graph ..."

that their graphical layout is a factor in making sense of these, this aspect has not been investigated in the business process modeling area. This paper proposes a set of propositions about the effects of the secondary notation, which entails layout, on process model comprehension. While individual graphical
Usability Analysis of Visual Programming Environments: a `cognitive dimensions' framework
- JOURNAL OF VISUAL LANGUAGES AND COMPUTING
, 1996
"... The cognitive dimensions framework is a broad-brush evaluation technique for interactive devices and for non-interactive notations. It sets out a small vocabulary of terms designed to capture the cognitively-relevant aspects of structure, and shows how they can be traded off against each other. T ..."

techniques focus on different aspects and would make good complements. Insofar as the examples we used are representative, current VPLs are successful in achieving a good `closeness of match', but designers need to consider the `viscosity' (resistance to local change) and the `secondary notation
NOTATION
"... Analytical solutions for complete two-degree-oFfieedom (2 DOF) vibrational systems comprising primary and secondary resilient and damping elements and subjected to a harmonic base excitation are obtained for thefirst time and presented in terms of transmissibility of primary and secondary mass and r ..."

ORIENTATION AND ANATOMICAL NOTATION IN CONODONTS
"... ABSTRACT—All aspects of conodont paleontology rely on the identification and description of homologous anatomical units or elements. But the current schemes of anatomical notation and terms for orientation were formulated at a time when little was known of conodont anatomy or skeletal architecture, ..."

ARITHMETICAL NOTATING AS A DIAGRAMMATIC ACTIVITY
"... Qualitative data is presented from the trialling of a software-based arithmetical notating task designed to foster engagement with the structure of equality statements. The design rationale is “diagrammatic activity ” (Dörfler, 2006) where arithmetic inscriptions onscreen are observed and manipulate ..."

when formal algebraic notation is encountered at the start of secondary schooling (McNeil & Alibali, 2005). In this paper I report on a trial of an arithmetical notating task designed to foster meaningful engagement with the partitional and commutative properties of equality statements.
An Extended Dot-BracketNotation for Functional Nucleic Acids
- In: International Workshop on Computing with Biomolecules
, 2008
"... Functional nucleic acids are an attractive substrate for molecular computing. A nucleic acid molecule is a linear chain of covalently bound building blocks assembled in arbitrary order from a set of typically four nucleotides. Certain pairs of nucleotides weakly attract each other through short-rang ..."

of the linear chain. This so called secondary structure is of great importance for the function of nucleic acids. The present paper is concerned with the representation of this secondary structure. We propose an extension for the syntax of the standard dot-bracket notation to increase its convenience
Comparison of Indices Proposed as Criteria for Assigning Skin Notation
, 2008
"... Objectives: Skin notations are used as a hazard identification tool to flag chemicals associated with a potential risk related to transdermal penetration. The transparency and rigorousness of the skin notation assignment process have recently been questioned. We compared different ap-proaches propos ..."

Changes with Age in Students' Conceptions of Decimal Notation

"... This study examines Australian students ' conceptions about ordering decimals. It builds upon previous work which established three common misconceptions. A longitudinal study of 50 secondary students over twelve months showed little change in their misconceptions. A second study traced the inc ..."

Sweeping Away Disorder with the Broom Alignment Tool
, 1999
"... Design diagrams play an important role in many disciplines. Many types of diagrams use spacing and alignment to communicate implicit relationships between objects within the diagram. We describe and evaluate a direct manipulation alignment tool based on a push-broom metaphor. Keywords Secondary No ..."

, there are other visual aspects of diagrams that are left to the designer's discretion. These may include the color, size, location, spacing, and alignment of diagram elements. Designers use these unassigned visual aspects in a "secondary notation" that expresses relationships that are of concern
Human-Friendly Line Routing for Hierarchical Diagrams
"... Hierarchical diagrams are well-suited for visualizing the structure and decomposition of complex systems. However, the current tools poorly support modeling, visualization and navigation of hierarchical models. Especially the line routing algorithms are poorly suited for hierarchical models: for exa ..."
