Abstract :
We report on an experimental version of the VIM film system that allows one to make use of special-purpose animation film as a new form of knowledge unit for the interactive specification of application algorithms as well as for very-high-level parallel programming. Each film is a “shape” of computation (an algorithmic multimedia skeleton) and supports a set of parameterized computational schemes on a parameterized multi-dimensional structure. Intelligent behavior of the VIM film system is related to its ability to manipulate films and synthesize parallel programs
