SCIRun: A Scientific Programming Environment for Computational Steering
Framework where large computer simulations can be composed, executed, controlled, tuned interactively. Composing occurs via visual programming interface to a dataflow network. To execute programs, users specify parameters by graphical user interface rather than traditional text-based datafiles.

Visual Programming Languages: A Survey
Rising computer processing speed and graphic display abilities have enabled much research and experiment in this area. Various design methodologies have come from the research, and many programming systems were developed for specific uses (user interfaces, physical simulation), and more general programming.
