....some essential problems related to this technology are not completely solved. It is hard to demonstrate that UIMs describe the relevant aspects of the UI required to generate running user interfaces. In fact, there are few examples of running user interfaces generated from declarative UIMs [50, 43]. The problem of how best to integrate UIs with their underlying applications is introduced in many papers [11, 12] but is not entirely addressed for running user interfaces generated by MB UIDEs. There is no consensus as to which set of models is the most suitable set for describing user ....

....lower level, representations of the interface, which are subsequently interpreted, as in Humanoid [11] TADEUS [4] and FUSE [8] 3. Source Code Generators: the declarative models are mapped to programs in an imperative programming language, as in JANUS [1] and later versions of Mastermind [10] which generate C code. Arguments can be made for and against each of the above approaches. For example, in interpreted systems the runtime environment can be tailored directly to the needs of the declarative models, but performance may be problematical in the presence of a substantial runtime ....

....and the transition from Interim to Action is initiated by hitting the tab or return key. This generic topology is consistent with that used in the Amulet interactors[11] As discussed in Section 5.2, action sequencing information must be preserved in the translation to interactors. Stirewalt [17] has demonstrated the feasibility of automatically generating this temporal information from a LOTOS specification.

By explicitly modeling both the presentation and the batch command, these mutual dependencies can be expressed with the aid of a graphical model binding tool. We explain model binding and ways to automate biding in [20]. 5.3. Presentation modeling This stage involves conscious design and a clear understanding of the tasks that the user must perform. The analyst should acquire this understanding by a thorough task analysis, which records the way users perform their job on the existing system [7] Often in the ....

....aspect of a system, modeling notations can be specialized and highly declarative. The Mastermind Presentation Model [6] for example, combines concepts and terminology from graphic design with mechanisms for describing complex presentations using functional constraints. The Mastermind Dialog Model [19] uses state and event constructs to describe the user computer conversation; the composition features include state hierarchy, concurrency, and communication. The Mastermind Application Model combines concepts and terminology from object oriented design techniques [18] with mechanisms for ....

....Power We were able to express user interfaces using our modeling notations in several case studies. We tested the quality of user interfaces on two specific examples: the Print Save widget described in Section 3. 3 and an airspace and runway executive that supports an air traffic controller (ATC) [19]. The former demonstrates the ability to generate common, highly reusable code for standard graphical user interfaces. The latter demonstrates the ability to support a complex application using a direct manipulation interface. The ATC example testifies to the power of our approach. When a flight ....

Once all of the synchronization requirements have been met, the Event issues the appropriate activate, get, and set methods and then instructs the dialogue module to compute the next state. This process is described in greater detail in [21]. 5 Results and Status Automatic approaches to user interface software generation have been criticized for their failure to deliver rich and powerful interactive applications[24] This deficiency has been addressed by incorporating more and more powerful models into the development process. This ....

The former demonstrates the ability to generate common, highly reusable, tasks for standard graphical user interfaces.
