Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Comparing Visual and Textual Languages

Abstract

As visual languages become more popular, it becomes more important to have a formal framework for reasoning about their syntax, semantics, and the relationship between them. This paper is concerned with outlining a possible approach. It begins by looking at textual languages from a geometric point of view, and goes on to suggest how this may be generalized so as to be useful in understanding visual (especially dataflow-style) languages.
