Title Agentsheets: A Tool for Building Domain-Oriented Visual Programming Environments Type Book Chapter
Year 1993 Publication INTERCHI '93, Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 142-143
Keywords agents, demonstrational interfaces, direct manipulation, object-oriented, spatial metaphor, visual programming,
Abstract Visual programming systems are supposed to simplify programming by capitalizing on innate human spatial reasoning skills. I argue that: (i) good visual programming environments should be oriented toward their application domains, and (ii) tools to build domain-oriented environments are needed because building such environments from scratch is very difficult. The demonstration illustrates how the visual programming system builder called Agentsheets addresses these issues and demonstrates several applications built using Agentsheets.
