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. |

Abstract |
Spatial metaphors play an important role in human-computer interaction by suggesting analogies to real-world situations. Based on common beliefs, these analogies can help users to make more efficient use of high-functionality systems. Our goal is to employ spatial metaphors to create new, improved approaches for programming. The use of spatial metaphors raises some issues. (1) Inconsistencies between real-world situations and metaphors may be necessary but they can confuse users. (2) The spatial metaphors employed in current user interfaces are very rigid, i.e., they cannot be extended by application designers or users. (3) Spatial metaphors focus on the user interface part of systems and neglect domain-specific functionality of applications. This paper elaborates on these issues and briefly describes three programming tools developed at the University of Colorado which make use of spatial metaphors. |
