Integrated facilities for dynamic visualization provide sample but powerful means for debugging and domain-oriented animation. SAL agents are arranged on a set of 2D worksheets which can be distributed over different machines. An agent's program is defined by the means of a table specifying a set of state transition rules with a condition and a sequence of actions each. Beyond basic computation and communication, actions can dynamically modify the agent's depiction, its program, and spawn arbitrary processes. A couple of examples demonstrate SAL's applicability in various domains like electronic systems design and process management."}],"publication":"Proceedings of the 34th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","type":"conference","doi":"10.1109/HICSS.2001.926319","title":"A Language for the Rapid Prototyping of Mobile Evolving Agents","author":[{"first_name":"Wolfgang","last_name":"Müller","full_name":"Müller, Wolfgang","id":"16243"},{"first_name":"A.","full_name":"Meyer, A.","last_name":"Meyer"},{"first_name":"Henning","last_name":"Zabel","full_name":"Zabel, Henning"}],"date_created":"2023-01-24T10:48:09Z","date_updated":"2023-01-24T10:48:14Z","citation":{"apa":"Müller, W., Meyer, A., &#38; Zabel, H.
