Abstract

Previous work has demonstrated how interactive systems can be modelled formally as a collection of interacting objects or agents using an agent-based specification language (Abowd 1991, Duke & Harrison, 1992). An agent is an object which encapsulates some private internal state and operations which may alter this state together with an external view which describes the behaviour of the system in terms of the user interface level events which occur and the rendering function by which the object makes aspects of its internal state visible to the environment.
