Concepts and Architecture of Vista – a Multiparadigm Programming Environment

S. Schiffer, J.H. Fröhlich, Concepts and Architecture of Vista - a Multiparadigm Programming Environment, Proceedings of the 10th IEEE/CS Symposium on Visual Languages, St. Lois, USA, October 4 - 7, 1994.

This paper describes Vista, a visual multiparadigm programming environment. We introduce the notion of processors and networks and discuss their application in the construction of event-driven and data-transformation systems. Further, we give an overview of Vista’s object-oriented architecture.
