ABSTRACT
We propose a visual language, Hyperflow, for system programming as well as for end user shell programming. Hyperflow is designed for a multimedia pen computer system for children. It is a dataflow-based graphical language. In order to demonstrate the capability of Hyperflow, we solve the programming problem of implementing a help command for children to telephone their instructor or parents using voice communication hardware (modem, microphone, speaker, and clock). The resulting program includes visual programs to implement device drivers for the modem and clock hardware.

Increasing scientific workflow programming productivity with HyperFlow
WORKS '14: Proceedings of the 9th Workshop on Workflows in Support of Large-Scale ScienceThis paper presents HyperFlow: an approach to workflow programming which combines the advantages of a declarative workflow description and low-level scripting programming. The workflow execution model of HyperFlow is based on a formal model of ...
