  • Comprehensive Support for Developing Graphical Highly
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF J-Iuan -Chao Keh for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science presented on July 29. 1991 Title:Comprehensive Support for Developing Graphical. Highly Interactive User Interface Systems A Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: ed G. Lewis The general problem of application development of interactive GUI applications has been addressed by toolkits, libraries, user interface management systems, and more recently domain-specific application frameworks. However, the most sophisticated solution offered by frameworks still lacks a number of features which are addressed by this research: 1) limited functionality -- the framework does little to help the developer implement the application's functionality. 2) weak model of the application -- the framework does not incorporate a strong model of the overall architecture of the application program. 3) representation of control sequences is difficult to understand, edit, and reuse -- higher-level, direct-manipulation tools are needed. We address these problems with a new framework design calledOregon Speedcode Universe version 3.0 (OSU v3.0) which is shown, by demonstration,to overcome the limitations above: 1) functionality is provided by a rich set of built-in functions organizedas a class hierarchy, 2) a strong model is provided by OSU v3.0 in the form ofa modified MVC paradigm, and a Petri net based sequencing language which together form the architectural structure of all applications produced by OSU v3.0. 3) representation of control sequences is easily constructed within OSU v3.0 using a Petri net editor, and other direct manipulation tools builton top of the framework. In ddition: 1) applications developed in OSU v3.0 are partially portable because the framework can be moved to another platform, and applicationsare dependent on the class hierarchy of OSU v3.0 rather than the operating system of a particular platform, 2) the functionality of OSU v3.0 is extendable through addition of classes, subclassing, and overriding of existing methods.

  • A Programming Language Basis for User Interface Management
    CH1'89 PROCEEDINGS MAY 1989 A Programming Language Basis for User Interface Management Dan R. Olsen Jr. Brigham Young University Computer Science Department Provo, UT 84602 Abstract Language-Based User Interface Specifications The Mickey UIMS maps the user interface style and Our fh'st attempt at building a language-based UIMS was techniques of the Apple Macintosh onto the declarative the MIKE system[Olsen 86]. The basic metaphor for this constructs of Pascal. The relationships between user system was that all user interfaces were modeled by a set of interfaces and the programming language control the object types and a set of procedures and functions that interface generation. This imposes some restrictions on the operated on or returned information about such objects. possible styles of user interfaces but greatly enhances the usability of the UIMS. These were coupled with a set of base level interaction techniques and a default interaction style from which user interfaces were produced. These interfaces could then be Keywords: User Interface Management Systems, User refined via a profile editor. Interface Specifications, User Interface Generation. Our experience with MIKE has produced the following Introduction insights into the efficacy of language-based user interface specifications. The fh-st was that by using a user interface User Interface Management Systems (UIMS) have been a specification based on terms familiar to programmers we research topic for quite some time. A number of models were able to overcome the programmer resistance that have been presented for specifying human / computer plagued our earlier UIMS development efforts. MIKE interfaces in a fashion suitable for generating some or all of interfaces are described in terms of what they are supposed the user interface code.

This has several implications for code that is compiled into that format, and for code that isn't. Mach-O code gets the most efficient access to all Mac OS X technologies and the best possible integration with system software. Code that isn't Mach-O doesn't. Mach-O is supported by Apple's development tools, CodeWarrior Pro 7 and Absoft Pro Fortran for Mac OS X at the present time. Others are working on it as well. As a developer you have several options for moving to Mach-O: 1.

  • Design and Implementation of ET++, a Seamless Object-Oriented Application Framework1
    Design and Implementation of ET++, a Seamless Object-Oriented Application Framework1 André Weinand, Erich Gamma, Rudolf Marty Abstract: ET++ is a homogeneous object-oriented class library integrating user interface building blocks, basic data structures, and support for object input/output with high level application framework components. The main goals in designing ET++ have been the desire to substantially ease the building of highly interactive applications with consistent user interfaces following the well known desktop metaphor, and to combine all ET++ classes into a seamless system structure. Experience has proven that writing a complex application based on ET++ can result in a reduction in source code size of 80% and more compared to the same software written on top of a conventional graphic toolbox. ET++ is im- plemented in C++ and runs under UNIX™ and either SunWindows™, NeWS™, or the X11 window system. This paper discusses the design and implementation of ET++. It also reports key experience from working with C++ and ET++. A description of code browsing and object inspection tools for ET++ is included as well. ET++ is available in the public domain.2 Key Words: application framework, user interfaces, user interface toolkits, object-oriented programming, C++ programming language, programming environment 1 Introduction Making computers easier to use is one of the reasons for the current interest in interactive and graphical user interfaces that present information as pictures instead of text and numbers. They are easy to learn and fun to use. Constructing such interfaces, on the other hand, often requires considerable effort because they must not only provide the functionality of conventional programs, but also have to show data as well as manipulation concepts in a pictorial way.

  • Cross-Platform 1 Cross-Platform
    Cross-platform 1 Cross-platform In computing, cross-platform, or multi-platform, is an attribute conferred to computer software or computing methods and concepts that are implemented and inter-operate on multiple computer platforms.[1] [2] Cross-platform software may be divided into two types; one requires individual building or compilation for each platform that it supports, and the other one can be directly run on any platform without special preparation, e.g., software written in an interpreted language or pre-compiled portable bytecode for which the interpreters or run-time packages are common or standard components of all platforms. For example, a cross-platform application may run on Microsoft Windows on the x86 architecture, Linux on the x86 architecture and Mac OS X on either the PowerPC or x86 based Apple Macintosh systems. A cross-platform application may run on as many as all existing platforms, or on as few as two platforms. Platforms A platform is a combination of hardware and software used to run software applications. A platform can be described simply as an operating system or computer architecture, or it could be the combination of both. Probably the most familiar platform is Microsoft Windows running on the x86 architecture. Other well-known desktop computer platforms include Linux/Unix and Mac OS X (both of which are themselves cross-platform). There are, however, many devices such as cellular telephones that are also effectively computer platforms but less commonly thought about in that way. Application software can be written to depend on the features of a particular platform—either the hardware, operating system, or virtual machine it runs on.
