Abstract

A new graphical program representation is proposed.This notation, called "Dynamic User interface Flowchart" (DUIF), provides a clear perceptual view of the underlying processes, revealing relevant information at different levels of abstraction. A DUIF is a tree structured diagram combined with source code statements and data declarations.Used as design tool, it forces the designer to produce structured code through stepwise refinement of data objects.A DUIF picture allows to capture the dynamic properties of an executing program by visualization of data and control flow within program segments.This paper introduces the diagramming conventions of the DUIF notation and the underlying methodology.
