Abstract: Panel: • Chauvet Jean-Marie: portablity, cross platform development • Bruce Tognazzini: many of the current user interface designgs are still based on the very limited first Macintosh implementation. Therefore, they propagate many desing decisions that were valid then but unjustified today David C. Smith: proactive versus reactive user interfaces, agents to access information, human-human communication, end-user programming, we are still at the level of the Star

Repenning, A. (1993). Agentsheets: A Tool for Building Domain-Oriented Visual Programming Environments. In INTERCHI '93, Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (pp. 142–143). New York: ACM Press.
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.
