Abstract

Several user-interface tools have been developed that (semi) automatically generate widgets for interacting with model objects. However, details of the nature of the model-widget mapping and the range of widget compositions that can be automatically created remain largely unpublished, and hence unknown. Moreover, most of this work has considered flat models. Using a variety of user-interfaces, which are proposed as benchmarks for evaluating widget generation, this paper demonstrates and derives a flexible and (semi) automatic algorithm for mapping between model and widget compositions.
