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.","lang":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"672"}],"user_id":"5786","_id":"39493","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"keyword":["Animation","Computer languages","Solids","Concrete","Application software","Virtual reality","Programming profession","Switches","Visualization","Debugging"]}]
