This work proposes a visual grammar-based approach to support web designers during the analysis and the design phases of complex hypermedia structures. The hypermedia is defined through a formal visual language at two abstraction levels: the hypermedia graph outer and inner structures. The model makes it possible to verify the correctness of hypermedia structures andion levels: the hypermedia g...

The increasingly integrative use of images with language in many different types of texts in electronic and paper media has created an urgent need to go beyond logocentric accounts of literacy and literacy pedagogy. Correspondingly there is a need to augment the genre, grammar and discourse descriptions of verbal text as resources for literacy pedagogy to include descriptions of the meaning-mak...

This article discusses terminology useful toward the creation and discussion of visualizations. It continues and expands on a hands-on tutorial delivered by the author at the VisWeek2012 conference in October 2012 in Seattle, WA. Today, many fields of scientific activity have become increasingly reliant on visuals as means of dissemination, exploration, and analysis of information. Consequently...

We present a roadmap to a Human Activity Language (HAL) for symbolic manipulation of visual and motor information in a sensory-motor system model. The visual perception subsystem translates a visual representation of action into our visuo-motor language. One instance of this perception process could be achieved by a Motion Capture system. We captured almost 90 different human actions in order t...

A current controversy in the area of implicit statistical learning (ISL) is whether this process consists of a single, central mechanism or multiple modality-specific ones. To provide insight into this question, the current study involved three ISL experiments to explore whether multimodal input sources are processed separately in each modality or are integrated together across modalities. In E...

We present Computer Automated Multi-Paradigm Modelling (CAMPaM) (Mosterman and Vangheluwe 2002) for ModelDriven Development based on Meta-Modelling and Graph Transformation. The syntax of a class of models of interest is graphically meta-modelled in an appropriate formalism such as Entity-Relationship Diagrams. From this description of abstract syntax, augmented with concrete (visual) syntax in...

Title : Learning Visual Functions for a Mobile Robot with Genetic Programming Existing techniques used to learn artificial vision for mobile robots generally represent an image with a set of visual features that are computed with a hard-coded method. This impairs the system’s adaptability to a changing visual environment. We propose a method to describe and learn vision algorithms globally, fro...

The Fujaba project has created a light weight graph grammar approach allowing the use of graph grammar concepts in usual Java programs. Fujaba comes with visual editors for graph schemas / class diagrams, control structures / activity diagrams, and graph rewrite rules / extended object diagrams. Thereby the user may specify executable programs that are translated into complete Java programs wit...

Application-oriented approaches to graph transformation provide structural features beyond vertices and edges, like composition in hierarchical graphs, inheritance in object-oriented graphs, multiplicity constraints, etc. Often, these features have a specific dynamic interpretation which requires complex embedding mechanisms and context conditions. For example, the deletion of a compound node u...
