Abstract: each action does, c) how conditions and actions are linked, and d) when and how rules are evaluated and executed (i.e., rule ordering). Program composition, the ability to assemble the language primitives in order to achieve the desired effects, presents even more challenges for the user. While children and other novice users can for the most part comprehend the if-then structure of rules, they have a difficult time mapping their own ideas into rules [11]. Users have trouble determining what... (Update)
