text: CSCW systems like BSCW (Basic Support for Cooperative Work), HyperNews, and
Lotus Notes have been successfully introduced to support the cooperation of geographically
distributed work groups. Unfortunately, some of these software systems are not
flexible enough to be customized easily to the requirements of an individual user.
Most of the environments can only be configured by experts through complex programming.
In this article we introduce VIP space, a shared workspace space in the sense
of exchanging and processing shared objects between members of distributed work
groups. VIP space can be easily adapted to the user's individual views and needs
by means of a visual programming language. In VIP space, objects of the shared
workspace are moved by drag and drop between task fields. Task fields are programmed
by visual "if-then" rules applying a combination of icon- and form-based techniques.
When a document represented by an icon is dropped on a task field its rules are
checked and actions of the selected rules are excited. VIP space is finally demonstrated
in an Internet course application.

text: This article introduces and discusses different innovative means for visual
specification and animation of complex concurrent systems. It introduces the completely
visual programming language Pictorial Janus (PJ) and its application in the customer-oriented
design process. PJ implements a completely visual programming language with inherent
animation facilities. The article outlines the transformation of purely visual
PJ programs into textual imperative programming languages. The second part of
the article investigates animated 3D-presentations and introduces a novel approach
to an animated 3D programming language for interactive customer-oriented illustrations.
