“…The work coordination examples in Figures 1 and 5 are simple enough for novices to both understand and to build for themselves for use in similar situations. Our filter/action language has also proved to be powerful enough for experienced users to build reusable, complex event handling models to implement a range of diverse work coordination facilities (Grundy et al, 1997b;Grundy and Hosking, 1998). Figure 6 shows an example of a filter/action model, built by an expert end user, being used to highlight icons in Serendipity views, to indicate access/update of artefacts and use of tools.…”

“…Artefacts and tools in use by judy and her collaborators are highlighted. This was achieved by storing recent artefact modification and tool events, and filter/actions use this history to highlight appropriate icons to support group awareness (Grundy et al, 1997b).…”

Workflow Management Systems are a common example of an end user development system, in that they support end user specification of work process models, end user enactment (running) of these models, and end user evolution of workflows. Example applications of Workflow Management Systems include office automation, software process modelling and business process codification. We describe a novel workflow system which provides visual support for end users to specify both simple and complex aspects of workflows, including workflow models, communication and collaboration techniques, and the tools used to perform work. We illustrate both the utility of these work coordination mechanisms and the degree of scalability they provide for both novice and experienced end users. We also outline the architecture of our system, our experiences with this workflow tool, and future research directions in this area.

“…When executing, the state of these agents can be examined by users, and their configurations modified as required. In our previous work we have built mainly local machine agents, with some centralized, shared agents [3,5,6]. These agents suffered from difficulties in specifying and controlling agents used by multiple people, difficulties in coordinating agent activities, and the inability to produce robust agents that don't require a centralized, single server architecture.…”

Distributed, cooperating software agents are useful in many problem domains, such as task automation and work coordination in process-centered environments. We describe a visual language for specifying such software agents, which uses the composition of event-based software components. These specifications may contain interfaces to remotely executing agents, and agents may be run locally or on distributed machines using a decentralized software architecture. As facilities to configure and monitor the state and activities of such distributed, cooperating software agents is essential, we provide primarily visual capabilities to achieve this. Our static and dynamic software agent visualization techniques have been used on several projects where distributed information processing, system interfacing, work coordination and task automation are required. We illustrate our visualization techniques with examples from these domains.
