Abstract

A powerful and useful Data-Flow Visual Programming Language (DFVPL) must provide the necessary programming constructs to deal with complex problems. The main purpose of this paper is to give a contribution to the debate on DFVPL constructs, by presenting the solutions we devised for the VIPERS language.
