In practice however the rules tend to be dependent on each other and instead of just adding rules, existing rules need to be changed. The unique rules in Cartoonist, a rule-based visual programming environment to build simulations, provides a solution to this problem. Cartoonist's rules can be used in a more modular way supporting an iterative mode of programming. Libraries of visual descriptions can be built and reused to compose complex behavior from these descriptions. This makes exploring the space of possible descriptions of simulations easier, which is valuable for intended educational use of Cartoonist. Another advantage of Cartoonist is that its programs tend to have fewer and simpler rules than programs written for comparable systems.","PeriodicalId":340993,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1996 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115226592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Every abstract computational aspect is mapped into a concrete metaphor. For example, a computation is a city, a concurrent object is a house, inter-process communication is represented by birds carrying messages between houses, a method or clause is a robot trained by the user, and so on. The programmer controls a \"programmer persona\" in this video world to construct run, observe, debug, and modify programs. ToonTalk has been described in detail elsewhere. Here we show how systolic programs can be constructed and animated in ToonTalk. Systolic computations run on multiple processors connected in a regular topology, where all communication is via local message passing. A ToonTalk city can be seen as a systolic multi-processor and each house in the city as an active processor. One is able to construct systolic algorithms and watch their execution as houses are built and destroyed (i.e., processes are spawned and terminate) and birds carry messages between houses.","PeriodicalId":340993,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1996 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115091957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Visual conditional attributed rewriting systems (vCARWs) are proposed for the specification of visual languages. We argue that vCARWs can be viewed as a generalisation of conditional set rewrite systems, which in turn were shown to be as expressive as textual context-free grammars, picture layout grammars, and constraint multiset grammars. Last, we outline a procedure to translate visual gestures into visual sentences according to vCARW rules.","PeriodicalId":340993,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1996 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122595426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While some kinds of \"knowledge\" can be extracted automatically with preselected algorithms or data mining techniques, others require an experienced human, often an expert in analysis, the business or scientific context, or both. We have found that such humans combine exploration, the search for a relevant subset or view of the data, with analysis, statistical or other techniques for measurement. We designed and implemented a visual language, IDEA, to assist the data analyst in these two intertwined tasks. The language is a convenient representation for data analysis and provides environmental support for keeping track of sequences of operations, reuse of the data analysis itself, and enforced semantics between operations and data.","PeriodicalId":340993,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1996 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages","volume":"53 55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129825989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Computer visualization has become a valuable tool to help portray characteristics of large data sets. In software visualization, illustrating the operation of very large programs or programs working on very large data sets has remained one of the key open problems. We introduce an approach that uses semantic zooming to depict large program executions. Our method utilizes abstract, clustered graphics to portray program operations on the entire data set. Then, by interacting with the presentation, a viewer can zoom in to examine details and individual values. At this \"magnified\" level, the presentation adjusts to reflect displays common in existing algorithm animation and program visualization systems.","PeriodicalId":340993,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1996 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128371380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They describe the system and examine its cognitive dimensions.

However, most current visual (and non-visual) languages for describing human-computer interaction are based on serial, discrete, token-based models. The paper introduces a visual language for describing and programming the fine-grained aspects of non-WIMP interaction. It is based on the notion that the essence of a non-WIMP dialogue is a set of continuous relationships, most of which are temporary. The underlying model combines a data-flow or constraint-like component for the continuous relationships with an event-based component for discrete interactions, which can enable or disable individual continuous relationships. The language thus separates non-WIMP interaction into two components, each based on existing visual language approaches, and then provides a framework for connecting the two.","PeriodicalId":340993,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1996 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130890037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
