However, errors resulting from the incorrect use of these features are hidden from the programmer when using a standard text based editor until they are detected at compile time. The programmer is forced to edit, compile, and re-edit the program to correct the errors detected during compilation, resulting in inefficiencies in the development process. A Java compatible visual syntax is briefly introduced. We then focus on environment features made possible by the visual presentation of the language which provide for the visualization of errors resulting from incorrect use of the following features: definite assignment, static type checking and exception handling.","PeriodicalId":185794,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 1998 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages (Cat.

This paper describes two tools, Data Structure Designer and Whiteboard, that provide an instructor with the functionality of a whiteboard. The environment provided by these tools improve upon a whiteboard by providing interactivity and dynamic capabilities that whiteboards lack. Data Structure Designer provides a direct manipulation, graphical editor, similar to a widget-editor, that allows users to create attractive, customized data structure objects that very closely resemble the pictures of data structures that appear in textbooks. The Whiteboard environment provides a drawing area where data structures created in the Data Structure Designer can be interactively drawn, populated with example data, and then used in the demonstration of algorithms. Built-in semantics facilitate common operations. For example, assignment is accomplished by dragging and dropping a variable onto another variable. These two tools make the interactive design of data structures and demonstration of algorithms fast and easy.","PeriodicalId":185794,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 1998 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages (Cat.

Advanced error handling techniques are standard tools when processing textual programs, whereas in the context of visual languages the problem is factually unexplored. We develop an error recovery strategy for the parsing algorithm for atomic relational grammars originally developed by K. Wittenburg (1996). We present a definition of parser defined syntax errors for Wittenburg's parser by analyzing the possible parsing action failures and by showing how an explicit parse trace can be constructed to locate the errors. Then, we present two error recovery techniques, describe how they are integrated to the parses and discuss further directions.","PeriodicalId":185794,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 1998 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages (Cat.

Competitive learning of network diagram layout 网络图布局的竞争性学习

Since graph-like network diagrams are among the most commonly used and most important types of diagrammatic displays, layout techniques for graphs have been extensively studied. However a problem with current graph layout methods which are capable of producing satisfactory results for a wide range of graphs is that they often put an extremely high demand on computational resources. The paper introduces a new layout method that consumes only little computational resources and does not need any heavy duty preprocessing. Unlike other declarative layout algorithms, not even the costly repeated evaluation of an objective function is required. The method presented is based on a competitive learning algorithm which is an extension of self organization strategies known from unsupervised neural networks.","PeriodicalId":185794,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 1998 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages (Cat.

In a visual graph some nodes are shown as geometric figures, and some edges are represented by geometric relationships between these figures. By carefully designing visual graphs and corresponding mappings to abstract syntax graphs, semantics definitions can, at least partially, employ a visual notation while still based on abstract syntax. Visual semantics thus offers the \"best of both worlds\" by integrating abstract syntax and visual notation. These concepts can also be used to give visual semantics for traditional textual formalisms. As an example we provide a visual definition of Turing machines.","PeriodicalId":185794,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 1998 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages (Cat.

Our approach states that the messages exchanged between the user and the computer not only should make explicit the current state of the interaction, but also the possible paths that it may take. We introduce the notion of \"dynamic visual language\" as a set of visual sentences characterised by the presence of a common frame which conveys the context in which users are operating. We present a formal model of derivation of dynamic visual sentences, in which each visual sentence specifies the possible actions which can be performed on it and the possible transformations it can go through. The concepts are illustrated by examples in visual navigation and visual querying.","PeriodicalId":185794,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 1998 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages (Cat.
