Abstract: far the maos complex _ mm_ Low-cost, high-powered intelligent terminals and workstations equipped with high-resolution displays have recently made practical anew approach to simulation modeling-visual simulation. Traditional programming is no longer the mainstay of model specification: Users can employ extensive graphics to draw a model on a CRT screen and observe its behavior through animation and dynamically evolving statistics. Visual input and output serve to overcome many of the barriers that have prevented simulation from taking its rightful place as a convenient tool for system design. These capabilities are illustrated by the projected AT&T Performance Analysis Workstation, which combines visual and interactive features in a novel way.

Graphical system for modelling a process and associated method
Jeffrey L. Kodosky,James J. Truchard,John E. MacCrisken +2 more
- 09 Apr 1987
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method for programming a computer system having a display console for displaying images to control at least one of a virtual instrument and an instrument by the steps of displaying on the screen a first function-icon that references at least 1 first control module for controlling at least first function; displaying on screen at least 2 iteration-icon for controlling multiple iterations of data flow; and assembling a first acyclic data flow diagram, such that the diagram displays a first procedure for producing a value for each first function in the course of the first procedure.

Graphical system for executing a process and for programming a computer to execute a process, including graphical variable inputs and variable outputs
Jeffrey L. Kodosky,James J. Truchard,John E. MacCrisken +2 more
- 19 Nov 1992
TL;DR: In this paper, a graphical system for executing a process or for programming a computer to execute the process is presented, which is based on graphical programming techniques such as composing a graphical front panel of an instrument which provides a means for the user to provide input and monitor outputs of the process, composing a data flow diagram using graphical representations of data flow structures, and composing a sequence of execution instructions to carry out the diagrammed process in response to inputs provided by the panel to supply outputs displayed by the panels.

An object-oriented approach to graphical interfaces
TL;DR: The techniques for creating interfaces that are highly interactive, rich in layout structure, and effectively reusable across applications are described through three techniques: object-based graphics with taxonomic inheritance, interobject relationships such as composition and graphical dependency, and separation of the interface and application.
