....the KidSim family, the only rules present are those that have been explicitly entered by the user, although they can be collected into Jars of similar objects that then follow the same rules. On the other hand, in AgentSheets, graphical rule analogies are supported [Perrone and Repenning 1998; Repenning 1995] that allow users to generalize a behavior, such as in different 9 directions on the grid or from one object to another (e.g. Cars move on roads like trains move on tracks ) FAR does not support either of these kinds of generalizations, but does something different regarding what objects ....

....can comprise visually specified local and distributed components, as appropriate, which utilize substantially similar notational conventions. Various approaches have been developed for specifying autonomous software agents, including distributed agents. Examples include Zeus [16] AgentSheets [17], Agent Building Environment [18] JAFMAS [19] and Aglets [20] Many of these approaches utilize purely textual languages or frameworks programmed in textual programming languages, and thus distributed agent development in such systems is timeconsuming and mainly done by programmers. Some ....

....the output pins are invalid and this invalidity is propagated to the connected input pins. Connections carrying invalid values appear as dashed lines. No facility for user defined exceptions is provided. The rule based paradigm is becoming increasingly popular for VPLs aimed at end users (e.g. [22, 42, 45, 46]) Although support for exception handling seems like a natural fit for this paradigm, given the similarity between the whenever like behavior of rules and the behavior needed for invoking handlers, at least some kind of support would be needed for identifying and handling built in exceptions. ....

....of mapping . We will further discuss closeness of mapping in section 2.3. A good example of directness is a rule based visual language in which the rule set directly represents how the output of a process or action is implied by detecting a condition in the rule domain, as in AgentSheets [2] or Cocoa [1] Another good example of directness is the graphical representation of class hierarchies in Prograph [17] Classifying a language as visual or not is controversial. The phrase meaningful graphical representation is an important factor in making this classification. In the ....

....a compositional technique with designers building accurate representations of editor components, with layout constraints and editing behaviour specified using a similar metaphor. Other visual approaches to specifying visual language editors include those of VisiTile [4] Vampire [6] AgentSheets [14], DV Centro [22] HotDoc [23] and Escalante [7] The majority of these approaches use iconic composition approaches like BBW, but provide a limited range of fixed interaction capabilities (such as detecting mouse clicks) Specifying icons which can both dynamically resize or be resized by users, ....

Her firefly service uses knowledge about people with similar tastes and interests in music and movies as a means of personalizing its recommendations. 24. A sort of Java for kids. 25. For a similar approach that relies on graphical rewrite rules, see Repenning s (1995) Agentsheets. 26. This is of course a caricature of both approaches: Shoham does not ignore the importance of agent communication in AOP; neither would most agent communication researchers argue that some representation of mental state is unnecessary. Davies (1994) Agent K language is an ....

....combined with necessary simplicity with respect to task specific requirements and users preferences. In VIPspace, even a user with no programming skills can easily customize his her individual view through a form icon based visual programming language. Inspired by Repenning s Agentsheets [9] this language gives immediate access to VIPspace s complete functionality. Documents can be easily moved and copied between the private and global workspace. Unlike other systems, VIPspace requires a single drag drop rather navigating through several forms clicking a couple of buttons. By the ....

....building and active inquiry. Unfortunately, designing simulations and implementing them with traditional programming languages is a hard task [Rader, Brand, Lewis 1997] In the past we have explored the use of new end user programming paradigms such as Graphical Rewrite Rules [Repenning 1994; Repenning 1995; Smith 1996; Smith, Cypher, Spohrer 1994] analogies [Craig 1997; Perrone Repenning 1998] and Tactile Programming [Repenning Ambach 1996] to significantly lower the threshold of programming. While end user programming is a highly effective means to build tailored simulations, there is a ....
