Communicating Functional Agents and Their Application to Graphical User Interfaces Extended Abstract

چکیده
We demonstrate how concepts of communicating agents can be integrated into purely functional languages by an orthogonal extension of I/O monads. These agents communicate via so-called service access points and foster concurrent programming in the style of client-server architectures. By applying our approach to the realization of graphical user interfaces it turns out that the combination of functional expres-siveness and concurrency monads yields a powerful framework for such systems.

Communicating Functional Agents and Their Application to Graphical User Interfaces
We demonstrate how concepts of communicating agents can be integrated into purely functional languages by an orthogonal extension of the usual I/O monad. These agents communicate via so-called service access points and support programming in the style of client-server architectures. We then show the feasibility of the approach by applying it to the example of graphical user interfaces, which we...
متن کاملA New Trust Model for B2C E-Commerce Based on 3D User Interfaces
Lack of trust is one of the key bottle necks in e-commerce development. Nowadays many advanced technologies are trying to address the trust issues in e-commerce. One among them suggests using suitable user interfaces. This paper investigates the functionality and capabilities of 3D graphical user interfaces in regard to trust building in the customers of next generation of B2C e-commerce websit...
متن کاملComposing graphical user interfaces in a purely functional language
This thesis is about building interactive graphical user interfaces in a compositional manner. Graphical user interface applications hold out the promise of providing users with an interactive, graphical medium by which they can carry out tasks more eeectively and conveniently. The application aids the user to solve some task. Conceptually, the user is in charge of the graphical medium, control...
متن کاملGadgets: Lazy Functional Components for Graphical User Interfaces
We describe a process extension to a lazy functional programming system, intended for applications with graphical user interfaces (GUIs). In the extended language, dynamically-created processes communicate by asynchronous message passing. We illustrate the use of the language, including as an extended example a simple board game in which squares are implemented as concurrent processes. We also ...
متن کاملProgramming graphical user interfaces with Scheme
This paper presents Biglook, a widget library for an extended version of the Scheme programming language. It uses classes of a Clos-like object layer to represent widgets and Scheme closures to handle graphical events. Combining functional and object-oriented programming styles yields an original application programming interface that advocates a strict separation between the implementation of ...
