• Add Support for Self Loops for Polyline / Spline Layouts
  Self loops, that is, edges connecting a node with itself, need to be properly routed. This is already implemented for orthogonal edge routing, but is still an open problem for spline and polyline edge routing.

• Implement Greedy Switch Heuristic for Crossing Minimization
  The order of nodes in a layer determines the number of crossings and is computed during the crossing minimization step. The results can usually be further improved by switching the order of nodes around, which we currently lack proper algorithms for.

• Improved Edge Label Placement
  Our layout algorithm already supports the placement of edge labels. However, there's still room for improvement...

Modeling Pragmatics

• Control Flow Graph Exploration / Visualization
  Use pragmatics concepts (automatic layout, focus & context) for exploring/visualizing control flow graphs and specific paths, eg. as computed by OTAWA WCET analysis tool, eg. using Klighd.
• OMG DD Format
  Explore the mapping of KGraph / KRendering to the Diagram Definition format of the OMG.

• Developing an Info Screen
  Info screens are screens that present data in ways that can be easily understood. This includes static data (project description graphics, members of a team, ...) as well as dynamically aggregated data (bug statistics, automatic build overviews, ...). This topic is about developing such an info screen for our group and making it easily configurable.

• Develop a SyncChart-Editor based on Yakindu, including basic pragmatics concept (automatic layout, collapse/expand, structure-based editing) and interfacing to host-language.FPGA Statecharts
  Development of a Statecharts editor, based on .NET, WPF, MS Silverlight. Synthesis onto FPGAs with a data-flow-based intermediate format.
• [Quartz]
  Integrate the synchronous Quartz language into KIELER for validation purposes and teaching.
• Diagram Description Language
  Developing the concepts and implementation of a diagram description language based on Klighd, with SyncCharts as application example.[Quartz]
  Integrate the synchronous Quartz language into KIELER for validation purposes and teaching
• Layering Algorithms
  Develop an alternative algorithm for the layer assignment problem used in the layer-based approach to graph layout.
• Spline Layout
  Develop a proper spline routing for KLay Layered. Part of this would be implementing self-loops with splines. The expected end result is that KLay Layered can well be used to layout state charts.
• Compound Graph Layout
  Design and implement new concepts for computing layouts of compound graphs.
