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"}],"publication_identifier":{"isbn":["0-8186-8712-6"]},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"citation":{"bibtex":"@inproceedings{Geiger_Müller_Rosenbach_1998, place={Halifax, Canada}, title={SAM - An Animated 3D Programming Language}, DOI={<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1109/VL.1998.706167\">10.1109/VL.1998.706167</a>}, booktitle={Proceedings of the IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages}, author={Geiger, Christian and Müller, Wolfgang and Rosenbach, W.}, year={1998} }","ama":"Geiger C, Müller W, Rosenbach W.
