Intercepting Dataflow Connections in Diagrams with Inheritance

Fors, Niklas LU orcid and Hedin, Görel LU orcid (2014) Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing (VL/HCC) p.21-24
Abstract
Control systems are often built using visual dataflow-based languages, and supporting different variants may be challenging. We introduce the concept of connection interception based on inheritance. This mechanism allows a diagram to extend another diagram and intercept connections defined in the supertype, that is, to replace it by two other connections, in order to specialize the behavior. This can be used to create extensible libraries that support different variants.
