Generating Advanced Query Interfaces

With the increasing popularity of the World Wide Web, the number of information sources providing access to various types of data has increased considerably. While simple data retrieval queries are typically very easy to specify in such systems, formulating advanced queries is much harder. Most systems require the user to be aware of their speci c, often proprietary, interfaces and query langua...

Generating Call-Level Interfaces for Advanced Database Application Programming

Database management systems (DBMS) store and manage large sets of shared data whereas application programs perform the data processing tasks, e. g., to run the business of a company. Often, these programs are written in various programming languages (PLs) embodying different type systems. Thus, DBMSs should be “multi-lingual“ to serve the application requests. This is typically achieved by prov...

Generating User Interfaces from

The generation of the dialogue description from an algebraic specification of the application and its restrictions to different user groups are presented. The idea and motivation for the work is that the development of the application and the UI has to go hand in hand. Moreover, the UI should be generated since the programming of UIs is a time consuming and error-prone task. A formal specificat...

GENIUS: Generating Usable User Interfaces

In this report we describe the implementation and approach developed during the GENIUS Project. The GENIUS project is about the generation of usable user interfaces. It tries to cope with issues related to automatic generation where, usually end-user complain about the poor quality (in term of usability) of generated UI. To solve this issue GENIUS relies on Model-Driven Engineering principles a...
