....programming language would do. When design diagrams started to be drawn directly on the screen of the computer, they could then be translated automatically into equivalent lines of program text. The diagram then becomes part of the program. There have been at least a hundred proposals for VPLs. Glinert (1990a, 1990b) has edited a two volume collection of landmark papers in this field, dating from 1975. More recent research developments are reported in the proceedings of the now annual IEEE symposia on visual languages, and in the Journal of Visual Languages and Computing. Taxonomies of VPLs (as well ....

....research, and version or configuration graphs in software engineering and computer integrated manufacturing. The list of examples presented above is by no means complete and there exists an abundance of visual languages and environments which have graphs as their underlying data model [7, 18, 19, 56, 57]. Furthermore, rule based languages and systems haven proven to be wellsuited for the description of complex transformation or inference processes on complex data structures. And grammars, for instance in the form of attribute grammars or definite clause grammars, are often used to describe syntax ....

....process for visual languages. There are many programming environments for textual languages and several systems that can generate such environments from their specifications [12, 9] Recently, we have seen an increasing number of visual programming environments for a variety of languages [4]. We are interested in the generation of visual environments for visual languages. In section 8 there is a discussion regarding other related work in the area of visual programming environment generation. We concentrate on the specification of visual languages and the generation of tools for these ....

....to increase programmer productivity. There are several commercially available programming languages and environments including LabVIEW [Vose86] and Prograph [Cox88] These languages use icons and arcs to represent programs 1 . There are also visual programming languages in use by researchers [Glinert90, Chang90, Ichikawa90, Meyers90, Price93]. Many of these research programming languages are special purpose languages. The idea of a general purpose visual language is discussed further in [Kiper95] The work described in this paper was motivated by experiments described in [Green92] that compared textual languages and the visual ....

....explored as far back as 1969 [3] and more recently by Moher [11] However, these debuggers did not provide reversible animations of both the code and its graphical output, nor connections between individual code expressions, values and individual graphical objects. The field of visual programming [7] uses graphical objects to represent the elements of the program, such as variables, functions and loops. The best of these environments also provide some animation of the graphical representation during execution. The pioneering work on animated visualization of program code in a single stepper ....

....This subject adopts the exploratory approach. In SFT5030, students are encouraged to actively critique the claims on any particular paper. An evaluation framework was provided allowing students to assess VP systems (see Section 3) Lectures presented different classic VP systems (usually from [10, 11]) using the theoretical framework. Students had to select their own VP system and present it as a seminar using the same theoretical framework. In tutorials, students assessed Dept. of Software Development, Monash University, Caulfield East, Melbourne, VIC, Australia, 3145; 61 39903 1033; ....

.... that allowed students to compare different VP systems (see Section 2) This theoretical framework is based on (i) short overviews of the VP field [5, 18] ii) evaluation criteria for different VP systems [26, 36] iii) collections that snapshot the state of the art in VP at various times [10, 11, 17, 19, 32]; iv) the anecdotal notes (and an excellent bibliography) found in the comp.visual.languages frequently asked questions (FAQ) list; and (v) discussions with SFT5030 students. The rest of this paper presents the theoretical and evaluation frameworks. An appendix shows the evaluation of a ....
