5	5	**Hinweis**: Es ist Studierenden ausdrücklich empfohlen, sich frühzeitig bei den verschiedenen Arbeitsgruppen über mögliche Themen der Abschlussarbeit zu informieren. WWW-Seiten wie diese hier sind ein guter erster Anlaufpunkt, und es ist eine gute Idee, sich vor einem Gespräch mit einem potenziellen Betreuer (Professor, Assistenten ~-~- generell die Dozenten von Lehrveranstaltungen) über mögliche Themen einen Blick auf diese Seiten zu werfen. Es ist jedoch erfahrungsgemäß schwierig, auf solchen Seiten vollständige und aktuelle Informationen bereitzustellen; sie sollten daher eher als grober Indikator der jeweils möglichen Themenfelder dienen denn als konkrete Ausschreibungen. Um zu erfahren, welche Themen konkret verfügbar sind, zu dem angestrebten Zeitrahmen, sollte man auf jeden Fall die Dozenten konsultieren.

30	30	Different connected components of a graph are often laid out separately and combined again afterwards. This combination step often produces too much whitespace. Research relevant 2D packing literature and implement a better solution.

33		-* **2 Heuristics for the Compact Layering Problem** (Bachelor, Master)
34		-Usually the layer assignment problem of the layer-based approach seeks to let as many edges as possible point into the same direction. Refraining from doing so sometimes allows more compact drawings, which so far has been evaluated using optimization problems. The task is to find and evaluate appropriate heuristics.
35		-* **2 Evaluate Impact of Reversing Edges on Humans** (Master)
36		-Reversing edges during the layer assignment problem as suggested by the previous topic may have a negative impact on the readability of diagram. User-studies should be carefully planned and conducted to answer two questions: which edges are naturally reversed by humans and does reversing too many edges worsen comprehensibility?

54	54	Often, people want their nodes to stay in the same place, but have the edges routed somehow. We currently don't have any layout algorithm that can do so. In this assignment, you would implement a simple edge router to solve this.
55	55	* **1 Improved Spline Edge Routing **(Master)

58	58	We maintain a variety of JUnit tests to assure our layout algorithm works properly. The environment to execute these tests grew over time and requires a face-lift. The task is to evaluate existing testing frameworks of other projects, find a clean and efficient way to specify and maintain our tests, and update the current implementation.
