. The purpose of this paper is to propose the framework as an evaluation technique for visual programming environments. We apply it to two commercially-available dataflow languages (with further examples from other systems) and conclude that it is effective and insightful; other HCI-based evaluation

The study of visual programming was once an active field of study, but journal articles on the topic post 1990’s are rare. Yet the idea of visual programming is no less valid. Graphical diagrams and modelling tools continue to be used to aid programming. Integrated development environments (IDEs

ion One of the challenges in visual programming research is scaling up to the support of ever-larger programs. This is a greater issue for VPLs than for traditional textual languages (although it certainly can be said to exist in both) for reasons relating to representation, language design

computational issue can be the process communication graph. It's no use to make these drawings with paper and pencil when it is possible to draw them by using comfortable and intelligent visual programming tools. The objectives of the task were the development of graphical notations, methodologies and high

Lozano–Pérez [LP82] divided robot programming into methods for guiding, robot–level programming, and task–level programming. A more useful dis-tinction for modern methods is between manual programming and automatic programming, based on the actual method used for programming as this is the crucial

In this paper we introduce our new tool BioSketchPad that allows visual progamming and modeling of biological regulatory networks. The tool allows biologists to create dynamic models of net-works using a menu of icons, arrows, and pop-up menus, and translates the input model into Charon, a

In this paper we present a method for modeling and rendering fast moving bodies of water such as rivers in real-time. Rather than use a static polygonal surface, the water surface is represented as a height map on the GPU and is rendered using the recent GPUbased height map rendering algorithms. A simple ray tracer allows fast computation of reflections and refractions. It runs at high frame rates due to effective use of modern graphics hardware, and is intended for use in real-time applications such as video games.

Abstract. Programmed cell death (PCD) plays a key role in developmental biology and in maintenance of the steady state in continuously renewing tissues. Currently, its existence is inferred mainly from gel electrophoresis of a pooled DNA extract as PCD was shown to be associated with DNA

The Nord Modular music synthesiser system comprises a stand-alone array of digital signal processors programmed by a dataflow visual langauage and supported by a visual programming environment that runs on commodity hardware. We have investigated applying program visualisation techniques to over
