Abstract

The User Interface Software Group at CMU is investigating ways to make the design, prototyping, and implementation of user interfaces substantially easier. Unlike other user interface development environments that deal only with widgets like menus, scroll bars and buttons, we concentrate on the insides of application windows, which is the part that takes most of the programmer's time to design and implement. Typical applications of the technology include visualizations and visual programming environments, drawing programs, user interfaces for expert systems, graph editors, graphical programming languages, game user interfaces, simulation and process monitoring programs, user interface construction tools, CAD/CAM programs, etc.
