Hyperflow: A Uniform Visual Language for Different Levels of Programming1
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a visual language, Hyperflow, for system programming as well as for end user shell programming. Hyperflow is designed for a multimedia pen computer system for children. It is a dataflow-based graphical language similar to Show and Tell. In order to demonstrate the capability of Hyperflow, we solve the programming problem of implementing a help command for children to telephone their instructor or parents using voice communication hardware (modem, microphone, speaker, and a clock). The resulting program includes visual programs to implement device drivers for the modem and clock hardware.

متن کاملHyperFlow: A Heterogeneous Dataflow Architecture
We propose a dataflow architecture, called HyperFlow, that offers a supporting infrastructure that creates an abstraction layer over computation resources and naturally exposes heterogeneous computation to dataflow processing. In order to show the efficiency of our system as well as testing it, we have included a set of synthetic and real-case applications. First, we designed a general suite of...
متن کاملA Quantitative Investigation on the Effect of Edge Enhancement for Improving Visual Acuity at Different Levels of Contrast
Background: The major limitation in human vision is refractive error. Auxiliary equipment and methods for these people are not always available. In addition, limited range of accommodation in adult people when switching from a far point to a near point is not simply possible. In this paper, we are looking for solutions to use the facilities of digital image processing and displaying to improve ...
متن کاملTraining Language Teachers: An educational semiotic model
Abstract The changing culture toward multimodality enforces acquiring visual literacy in every aspect of today’s modern life. One of the fields intermingled with using various modes in different variations is language teaching and learning, especially for and by young learners. Young language learners’ (5-12 years old) lack of world experience forces them to make the most use of non-verbal mode...
