1990	Design and implementation of programming environments in the Visual Programmers Workbench abstract The authors describe Visual Programmers Workbench (VPW), which addresses the rapid synthesis of programming environments for the specification, analysis, and execution of visual programs. A language-based environment for a specific visual language is generated in VPW from a specification of the syntactic structure, the abstract structure, the static semantics, and the dynamic semantics of the language. VPW is built around a model of distributed processing based on shared distributed memory. This framework is used both for defining the architecture of the environment and for the execution model of programming languages. The VPW has been used to experiment with visual programming environments for several visual languages. The design of the Visual Programmers Workbench and experience with using it to generate a distributed programming environment for a concurrent visual language are described.> Robert V.

1990	Early Experience with the Visual Programmer's WorkBench abstract The Visual Programmer's WorkBench (VPW) addresses the rapid synthesis and customization of environments for the specification, analysis, and execution of visual programs. The goal of VPW is to enable the easy creation of environments for visual languages. The design of VPW and experience using it to generate a distributed programming environment for a concurrent visual language are described. A visual programming environment for the PetriFSA language generated with VPW is outlined. An overview is provided of the language definition model and its relation to the logical architecture of VPW. Details are given of the language specifications used in VPW, and its application in defining the PetriFSA language. A language-based environment for a specific visual language is generated in VPW from a specification of the syntactic structure, the abstract structure, the static semantics, and the dynamic semantics of the language. VPW is built around a model of distributed processing based on a shared distributed memory. This framework is used in defining the architecture of the environment and for the execution model of visual languages.> Robert V. Rubin, James Walker II, Eric J. Golin	IEEE Trans. Software Eng.	2
