Abstract: Many different methods have been used to specify user interfaces: algebraic specification, grammars, task description languages, transition diagrams with and without extensions, rule-based systems, and by demonstration. However, none of these methods has been widely adopted. Current user interfaces are still built by writing a program, perhaps with the aid of a UIMS. There are two principal reasons for this. First, specification languages are difficult to use. Reading a specification and... (Update)

.... they seem to be more understandable, experiments with actual users show that error rates when manually interpreting them are high (Carr 1996). This is not a problem isolated to IOGs, but seems to apply to all specification methods. This suggests that the specification...

.... Introduction There have been several articles presenting or comparing existing notations, languages, formalisms and environments [7,9,11]. However, up to now, none has considered the Esterel language and its environment [4] In this article, we would like to contribute to...
