Abstract

CPN/Tools is an editor and simulator of Coloured Petri Nets that uses post-WIMP interaction techniques, including bi-manual interaction, toolglasses and marking menus and a new metaphor for managing the workspace. It challenges traditional ideas about user interfaces, getting rid of pull-down menus, scrollbars, and even selection, while providing the same or greater functionality than current GUIs. This demo presents the first version of CPN/Tools.
