“…Behavioral programming [37] is another model for programming interactions between processes. In that model, at each global state, each process provides three sets of actions: requested actions, watched actions and blocked actions.…”

Using high level coordination primitives allows enhanced expressiveness of componentbased frameworks to cope with the inherent complexity of present-day systems designs. Nonetheless, their distributed implementation raises multiple issues, regarding both the correctness and the runtime performance of the final implementation. We propose a novel approach for distributed implementation of multiparty interactions subject to scheduling constraints expressed by priorities. We rely on a new composition operator named Restriction, whose semantics dynamically restricts the set of interactions allowed for execution, depending on the current state. We show that this operator provides a natural encoding for priorities. We provide a knowledge-based optimization that modifies the Restriction operator to avoid superfluous communication in the final implementation. We complete our framework through an enhanced conflict resolution protocol that natively implements Restriction. A prototype implementation allows us to compare performances of different optimizations.

The user interface incorporates programming technology based on the frequently used Blockly project (Marron et al, 2012). We have chosen Blockly to not have to do everything ourself and benefit from new features Figur 2.…”

“…The visual appearance and usability ideas follow well known concepts implemented by tools like Scratch (Resnick et al, 2009) or Blockly (e.g. (Marron et al, 2012)). NEPO eliminates the syntax and logic battle and lets kids focus on the logic behind conditionals, loops, variables and other core concepts without worrying about unbalanced parenthesis or missing semicolons.…”

The aim of the Open Roberta initiative is to support visual online programming of educational robots. The goal is to overcome technical and professional barriers for teachers and students alike at home or in the classrooms. The free to use cloud-based Open Roberta Lab consists of graphical programming tools for the browser that enable beginners to seamlessly start coding without long-winded system installations, setups or additional technology getting in the way. Open Roberta is a project within the Fraunhofer initiative ”Roberta - Learning with Robots”. A further aspect of the paper is the introduction of the NEPOR meta programming language as a core concept for coupling real educational robot systems.

Behavioral programming (BP) is a decentralized scenariobased paradigm for the programming of reactive software, geared towards incremental and intuitive development. In this work we apply the principles of BP to a large, realworld case-study: a web-server. We discuss the conclusions learned from our attempt and propose several extension idioms to BP, aimed at improving the framework's scalability. Specifically, we propose extending BP with a timeout idiom for handling various time constraints, program-specific execution strategies, dynamic thread creation for efficiently allocating system resources, and support for parameterized events to handle inputs with infinite domains. Our extensions and case-study are implemented in a new framework for behavioral programming in C++.
