Abstract :
The visual language Contata is a simple, but powerful, programming environment for the KHOROS system. By providing a graphical interface to basic components in the form of block diagrams with which researchers in many fields are already familiar, Contata promotes experimentation and learning without the need for advanced programming skills. The syntax of the language is discussed. Language features such as control structures and hierarchy are discussed. An image processing library and interoperable data exchange format are discussed
