Project Details

Description

Visual programming refers to software development where graphical notations and interactively manipulable software components are primarily used to define and compose programs. The goal of visual programming is to enhance the comprehensibility of programs and to simplify programming itself. Furthermore, visual programming should empower end users to build their own programs that otherwise would have to be written by professional programmers. The project focuses on three issues: (1) the foundations of visual programming, (2) the potential and limits of visual programming, and component-based software development with Vista, a new visual programming system.
