Abstract: The Interface Construction Set (InterCONS) is a visual language and environment. It consists of a data-flow language, an editor for building and testing data-flow programs and making presentation views of the programs, libraries for holding completed programs, and a presentation system for interacting with finished programs and sequences of programs. The author describes the data-flow language and its primitives for arithmetic, logic, interactive control, path control, visual output, and program control. The execution model is also described. InterCONS is useful for experimenting with interactive controls and building models of interactive applications. >

VIVA: A visual language for image processing
TL;DR: VIVA is a proposed visual language for image processing that serves as an effective teaching tool for students of image processing and takes account of several secondary goals, including the completion of a software platform for research in human/image interaction and the establishment of a presentation medium for image-processing algorithms.

William Monroe Turpin,Kevin Lane Brown,Steven Ward Bogrett +2 more
- 28 Dec 1995
TL;DR: In this paper, a system for the creation and completion of goal oriented electronic forms is presented, which includes a form creation mode and a run-time mode for the user to specify a set of tree branches, tree nodes, and conclusions in association with fields of the form.

- 23 Aug 1994
TL;DR: In this paper, a graphics editor generates an Appearance Construction Graph (ACG) which represents an image formation process as a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and allows complex graphics images to be constructed in a straightforward manner.

Visual programming, programming by example, and program visualization: a taxonomy
Brad A. Myers
- 01 Apr 1986
TL;DR: This paper attempts to provide more meaning to Visual Programming and Program Visualization terms by giving precise definitions, and then uses these definitions to classify existing systems into a taxonomy.

A Survey of Current Graphical Programming Techniques
TL;DR: A pictorial system is the best vehicle for this, since it offers complete freedom in representing program navigation and can be used to examine a piece of abstract data by enlarging its picture with a zoom effect, thus showing internal detail.

Defining constraints graphically
Alan Borning
- 01 Apr 1986
TL;DR: The system described here allows the graphical definition of constraints, an interface in which a user can conveniently construct a new kind of object, annotating it with the relations that it must obey.

D. A. Henderson
- 01 Apr 1986
TL;DR: The class of “functioning frame” interfaces which Trillium is used to design is defined, the major concerns that have driven the design of Trillum are discussed, and the Trilium mechanisms chosen to satisfy them are described.
