“…Thus, altering the visual rendering(s), manipulates the formulation of the branch constitutive relations, and, in turn, the generated simulation model described by an analog hardware description language. The end result is a design capture methodology that minimizes typing of text [27,36]. Visualization exploits the increasing capabilities and decreasing costs of computer-based graphics to generate renderings of domain-specific abstractions as the primary medium of user/tool interaction.…”

In this paper, we address initial design capture and system conceptualization of microelectromechanical system transducers based on visual modeling and design. Visual modeling frames the task of generating hardware description language (analog and digital) component models in a manner similar to the task of generating software programming language applications. A structured topological design strategy is employed, whereby microelectromechanical foundry cell libraries are utilized to facilitate the design process of exploring candidate cells (topologies), varying key aspects of the transduction for each topology, and determining which topology best satisfies design requirements. Coupled-energy microelectromechanical system characterizations at a circuit level of abstraction are presented that are based on branch constitutive relations and an overall system of simultaneous differential and algebraic equations. The resulting design methodology is called visual integrated-microelectromechanical VHDL-AMS interactive design (VHDL-AMS is visual hardware design language for analog and mixed signal).

“…The OAK system [18] is also based on the construction and composition of primitive elements and constraints. In contrast to PERIDOT, the OAK system derives constraints from a trace of operations in the UI instead of a set of positive examples.…”

Programming by Demonstration (PbD) is a new paradigm for the programming of devices (robots, household appliances, machines) or interactive sofrware (text or graphics editors). The system enables programming without explicit coding. As a prototype of a new PbDsystem, the m r a m m i n g by &monstration Graphics Editor ProDeGE+ with extendable domain theory, is introduced. The prototype illustrates how generalizedfunctions can be generated based on a set of action sequences that are demonstrated in an inferactive system. Additional interactions with users (Dialog-Based Learning) help to reduce the hypothesis space of the PbD system. This can help to ensure that the generatedfunction is the same as the user-intendedfunction. Finally, the new approach enables users to extend the domain theory of the graphics editor using PbD so that they have an opportunity to reduce the limits of the given domain theory while the system is in use.
