The research will also involve participants from the Institutes of Information Science at the University of Salerno and the University of Bari. The objective of the resarch is to investigate the fundamental methodologies and theory in visual languages for human-computer interaction. The research will investigate three topics in visual languages: user modeling for visual interface, data modeling for visual access of databases, and visual language system design. The expertise of the research team is complementary; all participants are well-known in the field. Chang and Levialdi have strong research background in parallel image processing. The participants from Salerno and Bari have expertise in databases, formal languages, and visual language theory. * * *
