Diagram scenes in *AIDA

Abstract

*AIDA modeling/programming language is based on algorithmic pictures and animations as super-characters for representing and explaining features of computational (or other type) algorithms. Generic pictures are used to define compound pictures and compound pictures are assembled into special series (Cyber-scenes) prepared for automatic code generation. There are super-characters related to space structures for imitating some physical regions (shapes) in 3-D space and (computational) activities in time on structure nodes, and to diagram structures for representing connections between a set of activity units and specifying a partial order of the activity execution. The sets of the super-characters are open and adding new ones is implemented as a special knowledge/experience acquisition to support various modeling techniques and applications. In this paper we focus on the diagram structures and present how new Cyber-scenes for statechart and clients-server alliances are incorporated into *AIDA language.
