Visual Language Semantics Specification in the VisPro System
نویسندگان
چکیده
VisPro is a general-purpose visual language generation system, which can produce a wide range of diagrammatic visual programming languages (VPLs) based on Reserved Graph Grammar (RGG), a context sensitive graph grammar. This paper presents an approach to specify the semantic execution sequence of VPLs based on VisPro. In this approach, we use an ordering mechanism to facilitate the parsing formalism of Reserved Graph Grammar to determine semantic execution sequence of super-nodes in visual programs of the VPLs.

متن کاملCompiled Visual Programs by VisPro
VisPro is a general-purpose visual language generation system based on Reserved Graph Grammar (RGG). It is also the execution environment of visual programming languages (VPLs) developed under the VisPro system. However, due to the lack of compilation facilities, VisPro could only generate simple interpreted VPLs. We have developed a compilation mechanism for VisPro to implement compiled visual...
متن کاملUsing Graph Grammer to Implement Global Layout for a Visual Programming Language Generation System
VisPro is a general-purpose visual language generation system based on Reserved Graph Grammar (RGG). It can express a wide range of diagrammatic visual programming languages (VPLs). This paper presents a global layout approach used in the VisPro system. Our approach is grammar-based graph drawing, in which layout rules are embedded in the productions of RGG. Thus, the RGG formalism serves both ...
متن کاملSpecification of Symbols and Implementation of Their Constraints in JKogge
There are numerous CASE-tools and editing tools for visual languages. Since most of them are restricted to a specific method or language, metaCASE systems or frameworks which are capable of generating a tool for a specific visual language from its specification were introduced. Examples for this are VisPro, GenEd, DiaGen, VLCC, Progres, MetaEdit and KOGGE. All of these tools do have a means of ...
