+//Customized visual representations enable end users to achieve their programming goals. Here, designers work with users to tailor visual programming languages to specific problem domains. We describe a design methodology and a tool for creating domain oriented, end user programming languages that effectively use visualization. We first describe a collaborative design methodology involving end users and designers. We then present Agentsheets, a tool for creating domain oriented visual programming languages, and illustrate how it supports collaborative design by examining experiences from a real language design project. Finally, we summarize the contributions of our approach and discuss its viability in industrial design projects.//

-====Agentsheets: A medium for creating domain-oriented visual languages====
+//In contrast to the Syntactic and Semantic Web the Pragmatic Web is not about form or meaning of information but about how
+information is used. The Pragmatic Web’s mission is to provide information consumers with computational agents to
+transform existing information into relevant information of practical consequences. This transformation may be as simple
+as extracting a number out of a table from a single Web page or may be as complex as intelligently fusing the
+information from many different Web pages into new aggregated representations.//

+//The Pragmatic Web language extensions (such as the WWW Read condition) allow agents to parse
+Web pages. Agents can extract information from HTML or XML pages.//
+There is an interesting exemple of a real-time application. Agents read data of temperature and
+wind direction from the Internet, calculate the weather conditions for mountain biking,
+and show it visually in their icons, as shown in the figure in the right side.
+The paper does not describe wether Agentsheets has any connections to GIS, therefore we can
+assume that the agents were put in the space manually.
+__TerraME:__ the location of an agent can be calculated with a Region (Trajectory),
+but TerraME lacks dynamical visual representation, that can be solved with an R
+integration for plotting (or perhaps TerraView could be enhanced to help that?)
+The paper also describes //Mobility Agents//. They are agents that answer questions about
+the transportation system to a traveler. The system is composite by equipaments such as
+GPS in the buses and wireless devices to the travelers. The agents should do, for instance,
+//1) finding the location of the right bus; 2) informing Melanie how close it is to the bus
+stop she is at; 3) warning her when it is arriving; 4) guiding her to board the bus;
+) informing her when her destination is approaching; and 6) reminding her to gather her
+belongings before leaving the bus.// There is a third person in the model, that customizes the
+agents and observes the transportation situation in real-time.
