This award will support Prof. Shi-Kuo Chang of the University of Pittsburgh in a research collaboration with Prof. G. Tortora of the Universita di Salerno, Italy. The principal objective of the proposed research is to investigate the fundamental methodologies and theories of visual languages. In particular, they propose to investigate the methodology for the design of a visual language compiler, called the SIL-ICON Compiler. The SIL-ICON Compiler is a software system for the specification, interpretation, proto- typing, and generation of icon-oriented systems. The design of the SIL-ICON compiler is based upon the theory of generalized icons. A generalized icon is an object with the dual representation of a logical part (the meaning) and a physical part (the image). By bringing together experienced teams of inves- tigators to combine resources and talent, this international project has the potential not only to provide insights into both the theoretical understanding of visual languages and visual concepts, but also to furnish practical applications in novel user interface design for database applications.

该奖项将支持香港中文大学的张世国教授 匹兹堡大学与G.托尔托拉 意大利的萨莱诺大学。 的主要目标 建议的研究是调查的基本方法 和视觉语言理论。 他们特别建议， 研究视觉语言的设计方法 编译器，称为SIL-ICON编译器。 SIL-ICON系列 一个软件系统的规格，解释，原型， 打字和面向图标的系统的生成。 SIL-ICON编译器的设计是基于 广义的图标。 一般化图标是具有对偶的对象 逻辑部分（意义）和物理部分的表示 (the图像）。 通过汇集经验丰富的投资团队， 联合收割机的资源和人才，这一国际 该项目不仅有可能提供对两者的见解， 对视觉语言和视觉艺术的理论认识 概念，而且还提供了新用户的实际应用 数据库应用程序界面设计。
