  text: '3D-graphics are becoming popular in a steadily increasing number of areas
    such as entertainment, scientific visualization, simulation, and virtual reality.
    Despite this rapid growth the generation of animated 3D scenes is by no means
    trivial. Since animated 3D objects evolve over time the authors denote these objects
    as 4D. The article presents a novel approach to the rapid prototyping of 4D models.
    They introduce the AAL (Animated Agent Layer) system. AAL is an interpreter-based
    approach covering a textual (AAL-PR) as well as a visual command language (AAL-VL)
    for the specification of the dynamics in 4D scenes. AAL provides support for different
    levels of abstraction: primitives, structured objects, animated objects, and animated
    (autonomous) agents.'
