| Summary: | Most of the visual programming languages that have been
developed so far do not focus on Personal Digital Assistant
(PDA), due to the limited screen size and resources. This
paper proposes the Malay language-based Visual
Programming Language (MaVi) on PDA. The syntax and
the semantics of MaVi are grammatically designed based
on the visual programming. The hierarchical layout
technique is used to optimize the graph produced, so that it
can suit on limited size of the PDA screen. The grammar
of the developed language is a subset to a Java language,
but it is in a graphical representation. The compilation of
the program will produce a byte code, which can be
executed in any PDAs that has a Java Virtual Machine
(JVM). The testing on different test programming is
carried out to prove that it can be executed on embedded
devices and produces expected output.
