TL;DR: The NoPumpG prototype as mentioned in this paper suggested that the spreadsheet model of computation could simplify the creation of some types of interactive graphical application when compared with other approaches, and developed three applications using it.

Abstract: The NoPumpG prototype [7,8] suggested that the spreadsheet model of computation could simplify the creation of some types of interactive graphical application when compared with other approaches We report here experience in developing an enhanced follow-on system, NoPumpII, and describe three applications developed using it We conclude that (1) the potential advantages of the spreadsheet model are realized in this application experience, (2) revisions to the prototype design have permitted an increase in the complexity and scale of applications, and (3) there remain limitations in the current design which, if redressed, would further enlarge the scope of application More generally we conclude that alternative computational models are an important area of exploration for HCI research

Graphical techniques in a spreadsheet for specifying user interfaces
Brad A. Myers
- 01 Mar 1991
TL;DR: The spreadsheet interface described here, called C32 automatically generates appropriate references to C32, provides the programmer with the full power of writgraphical objects when the user clicks on the object in a ing constraint code in the underlying programming lanuser interface window.

Agentsheets: a tool for building domain-oriented dynamic, visual environments
Alexander Repenning
- 11 Jan 1993
TL;DR: This dissertation describes Agentsheets, a substrate for building domain-oriented, visual, dynamic programming environments that do not require traditional programming skills, and discusses how the relationship among people, tools, and problems is supported in the context of four central themes.

Gregg Rothermel,Lixin Li,Christopher Dupuis,Margaret Burnett +3 more
- 01 Apr 1998
TL;DR: A testing methodology for form-based visual programs is presented that is validation driven and incremental, and an interface to the methodology is provided that does not require an understanding of testing theory.

Selection paradigm for displayed user interface
Eric H. Michelman,Patrick Moulhaud,Daniel L. Tripp,Scott Isaacs +3 more
- 14 Dec 2000
TL;DR: A moveable displayed user interface element can be used to select an item displayed on a user interface and, once the proper item or items are selected, an area of the moveable display can be activated to perform an operation on the selected item or item as mentioned in this paper.

Herbivores and the Number of Tree Species in Tropical Forests
TL;DR: Any event that increases the efficiency of the predators at eating seeds and seedlings of a given tree species may lead to a reduction in population density of the adults of that species and/or to increased distance between new adults and their parents.

Experiences with the Alternate Reality Kit: An Example of the Tension between Literalism and Magic
TL;DR: An overview of the Alternate Reality Kit, an animated environment for creating interactive simulations that is built upon a physical-world metaphor: All objects have an image, a position, a velocity, and the ability to experience forces.
