text: With the wide availability of network supporting hard-and software cooperative
computer-based environments became extremely popular. A wide range of CSCW (Computer
Supported Cooperative Work) tools with video conferencing, electronic mail, shared
whiteboards, discussion forums, and shared information systems are already part
of daily business. In contrast to the unstructured linear stream of information
in electronic mails shared workspaces provide structured administration of electronic
information like documents, voice, pictures, and movies. Popular examples of shared
workspaces are BSCW (Basic Support for Cooperative Work), Hypernews, Lotus Notes,
Alta Vista Forum, Lifelink, Microsoft Exchange and Webshare. Currently, all these
systems are not flexible enough to get easily customized to the requirements of
the individual application and user only supporting a limited set of predefined
different views and functionality. This article introduces VIPspace (Visually
Programmable Workspace). VIPspace can be easily customized to the individual needs
of an user through VIPrule, a combination of a form- and icon-based visual programming
language. VIPrule is based on an easy-to-use drag and drop paradigm. Direct manipulation
via drag and drop allows easy access to local file systems as well as manipulation,
exchange, and publication of shared multimedia documents. As VIPspace is implemented
in Java it nicely integrates with other web-applications and provides a platform
independent environment with a uniform graphical user interface.

text: This article presents the animated visual 3D programming language SAM (Solid
Agents in Motion) for parallel systems specification and animation. A SAM program
is a set of interacting agents synchronously exchanging messages. The agent's
behaviour is specified by means of production rules with a condition and a sequence
of actions each. Actions are linearly ordered and execute when matching a rule.
In SAM, main syntactic objects like agents, rules, and messages are 3D. These
objects can have an abstract and a concrete, solid 3D presentation. While the
abstract representation is for programming and debugging, the concrete representation
is for animated 3D end-user presentations. After outlining the concepts of SAM
this article gives two programming examples of 3D micro worlds and an overview
of the programming environment.
