  text: This article presents SAL, a general purpose scripting language for the rapid
    development of distributed software agents seamlessly embedded in a visual environment.
    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.
