Abstract
This paper presents a strategy for the visualization of dynamic
object relationships in Java programs. The metaphor
of a chemical molecule is used to aid comprehension, and to
help in reducing the size of the object graph. Our strategy
has been implemented by dynamically instrumenting Java
bytecode to collect trace data, which is then analyzed and
visualized in 3D using VRML. Quantitative and graphical
results are presented, based on an analysis of programs in
the SPEC JVM98 and JOlden benchmark suites.
