[{"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","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."}],"status":"public","type":"conference","publication":"Proceedings of the 34th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","keyword":["software prototyping","distributed programming","authoring languages","software agents","program visualisation","parallel languages"],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"_id":"39432","user_id":"5786","department":[{"_id":"672"}],"year":"2001","place":"Maui, HI, USA ","citation":{"ieee":"W.
