Title :
Composition of Communication Services in a Visual Programming Language
Author_Institution :
Washington Univ.
Abstract :
Enhancements to a visual programming language are presented that integrate multiple modes of communication including email, instant messaging and speech synthesis, all into a single common interface. These features allow an end-user with no programming experience to easily connect these services together and perform simple operations on their data. These features do not require programming knowledge, and can be used to construct simple interfaces to these services for users unable to use them directly
