摘要

ScaFi-Blocks是用于设计和实现群算法的可视化、低代码编程环境。基于ScaFi聚合计算框架和block可视化编程库，ScaFi- blocks使用户能够使用直观的构建块可视化地组合算法，抽象掉传统群编程框架的复杂性。这种方法简化了广泛的群体系统的集体行为的开发，包括机器人群体、物联网设备集成和传感器网络，促进了该领域更广泛的可访问性和创新。这一贡献弥合了可视化编程和文本代码之间的差距，降低了非专业人员的入门门槛，同时促进了对聚合计算原理的更深入理解。

Low-code design of collective systems with ScaFi-Blocks

ScaFi-Blocks is a visual, low-code programming environment for designing and implementing swarm algorithms. Built on the ScaFi aggregate computing framework and the Blockly visual programming library, ScaFi-Blocks enables users to visually compose algorithms using intuitive building blocks, abstracting away the complexities of traditional swarm programming frameworks. This approach simplifies the development of collective behaviours for a wide range of swarm systems, including robot swarms, IoT device ensembles, and sensor networks, fostering broader accessibility and innovation within the field. This contribution bridges the gap between visual programming and textual code, lowering the barrier to entry for non-experts while promoting a deeper understanding of aggregate computing principles.
