						 ABSTRACT

          Modern technology allows us to view our programs through the
visual representation that we normally use to describe and understand
them.  Our experience with program visualization started with multiple
views in the program development system Pecan and with algorithm
animation in Balsa and later Tango.  It continued with the programming
system Garden and has culminated with the Field programming
environment.  Building on these efforts, we are currently developing a
new visualization system that will take advantage of today's
technology to provide a flexible interface to a variety of program
visualizations.  The system will allow the programmer to define
visualizations as abstractions using queries over an object-oriented
database of information about the program.  These abstractions can
then be visualized and browsed using easily defined type-based
mappings and a generic filtering mechanism.

This talk will review our previous work, outline our current research
plans, and illustrate the status of this research.
