ABSTRACT
IslandViz is a software visualization tool which represents the architecture of OSGi-based software systems in virtual reality. Using an island metaphor, each module is represented as an independent island. The resulting island system is displayed on a virtual table where users can interact with the visualization and explore the island system. IslandViz allows users to get an initial overview of the complexity of a software system by examining the modules and their dependencies.
