Visualization of experimental systems

A novel approach for visual programming of experimental systems is presented. It combines visualization in system design, visualization of scientific computations, and dynamic process visualization. The authors developed an adaptive visual environment, VIPEX, which is based on a data-flow architecture. VIPEX defines a visual programming language that is especially suited to implementing the corresponding experimental systems. VIPEX uses an object-oriented interaction model, direct manipulation, and algorithm animation techniques. The authors demonstrate the user interface of VIPEX, using image sequence analysis as the application domain.<<ETX>>
