Evaluating Distributed Graphical User Interface Communication
نویسنده
چکیده
Two main options exist to implement an Internet front-end for an application with a graphical user interface (GUI). The first is to "hard-code" a remote interface specifically for the application and distribute it to client computers. The problem with this approach is the inflexibility of the resulting interface. An alternative approach that minimises the need for client re-distribution is to provide a GUI framework from which an application’s interface can be built dynamically. This paper presents experimental results arising from a project to implement a distributed platform-independent GUI framework.

We present a visual speciication language for constructing distributed applications and their direct manipulation graphical user interfaces. Each distributed application consists of a collection of independent modules and a connguration of logical connections that deene communication among the data interfaces of the modules. Our speciication language uses a single visual mechanism that allows e...
