The article Improved Feedback for Architectural Performance Prediction using Software Cartography Visualizations has been accepted for publication at the 5th International Conference on the Quality of Software Architecture (QoSA2009). This article is a joint effort of authors from the chair of Prof. Reussner (University of Karlsruhe) and sebis. The author team (K.Krogmann, C.M.Schweda, S-Buckl, M.Kuperberg, A.Martens, F.Matthes, and R.Reussner) discuss the state-of-the-art in visualizing the results of architectural performance predictions. They elaborate on the difficulties, user have with the current visualizations and propose a software cartography based alternative visualization technique. An empirical survey gives indications, that this technique can improve user understanding of the information.
