....may need to be notified. The need to maintain this view consistency can easily lead to conflicts with the model view separation principle, which forbids domain objects to be designed with any knowledge of the UI. Fortunately, solutions to this problem are well known. The Chiron environment [28, 24] addresses view consistency by automatically augmenting domain objects with the logic that notifies dependent view objects when a change occurs. Each domain object is modeled as an abstract data type, which can be wrapped by special listening agents that export the same interface. Clients of a ....

....of the run method, however, is to execute the graphical simulation parameterized by the state of the object. When the run button is pressed, therefore, the application is initiated along with the instantiation of an application specific graphics management object. This represents an artist [Young 88] an object which defines the display behaviour for a particular object class. While an object library manages the display of an object as a form, the graphics manager manages the execution of an object s graphics application in terms of providing communication between the application and the ....

Since the user interface is a crucial part of the infrastructure of many software environments [2], particularly environments for program understanding, and since personal preferences for such things as menu structure, mouse action, and system functionality differ so much from person to person (and from domain to domain) it is unlikely that any single choice made by the tool builder will suit ....

Thus, Suite supports loose physical coupling between applications and dialogue managers, which is a generalization of the widely accepted practice of logically separating these components [15,29]. It is in the spirit of network window systems such as X [25] which support loose physical coupling between an application and its window server. It allows users to access remote applications, since the dialogue manager and the application can execute on the local workstation and remote host, ....

INTRODUCTION Most of the current principles of designing user interface development environments (UIDEs) [5, 15, 24, 28] have been derived assuming that a single user interacts with an application at a time. In this paper, we consider principles of designing multi user UIDEs. Since the field of multi user interaction is in its infancy, it is not currently possible to identify all of these principles, identify all ....

....This principle does not address how logical threads in a dialogue are mapped to physical threads or processes that are independently (and possibly concurrently) scheduled by the underlying system. The next section addresses this issue. Concurrent Command Processing The Chiron abstract model [28] for single user UIDEs suggests that the functional and interface code must execute as coequal processes exchanging messages. We extend this principle for the multi user case: #################################### 1 Internal control creates modes since the response of the system depends on the ....

....sophisticated renderings of programs, their structure must be explicitly defined by the user, rather than deduced by analysis of a text stream. Furthermore, Grif is largely limited to the textual medium and cannot be extended to support new media. The Chiron user interface development system [9, 24] is another influence on our work. A central concept in Chiron is that of the artist, which is an agent responsible for managing the appearanceof an abstract data type (ADT) The Chiron system provides a server that renders user interface objects like buttons and scroll bars and that multiplexes ....

....Some of our earlier research explored using a general purpose constraint system as the core of the presentation system. This work led us to believe that the performance of the general purpose solution is inadequate for a presentation system. Proteus bears an architectural resemblance to Chiron [9, 24]. Both systems have a centralized service that provides presentation services to clients. Both systems help clients adapt to their model by generating interfaces for them. The interface between Chiron and its artists seems to be quite similar to that between Proteus and the formatters of Ensemble. ....
