Generating Web-based User Interfaces for Diagramming Tools

چکیده
Thin-client diagramming tools provide a number of advantages over traditional thick-client design tools but are challenging to build. We describe an extension to a thick-client meta-tool that allows any specified diagram editor to be realised as a thin-client tool. A set of serverside components interact with the thick-client tool to generate GIF or SVG diagrams for both display and editing in a conventional web browser. We describe the motivation for our work, our novel architecture, illustrate and discuss interaction issues with the generated diagrams, and describe evaluations of the effectiveness of our approach.

Generating mobile device user interfaces for diagram-based modelling tools
Mobile display devices such as phones and PDAs have become very widely available and used. However, most content on these devices is limited to text, static images and motion video. Displaying and interacting with dynamic diagrammatic content on such devices is difficult, as is engineering applications to implement such functionality. We describe a set of plug-in components for a meta-diagrammi...
متن کاملWorkshop on Sketch tools for diagramming
Diagrams are widely used as abstract models of systems. The act of creating the initial diagram is a common problem solving strategy. Most diagrams are conceived and created with an old-fashioned pen on a piece of blank paper or a whiteboard. Current widget based tools, in contrast, are unsuitable for early design support because of the constraints they place on the user. Sketch diagramming too...

متن کاملActiveRaUL: Automatically Generated Web Interfaces for Creating RDF Data
The amount of automatically generated machine-readable data on the Web has significantly increased in recent years. This is in part due to the advent of Linked Data and its publishing tools that allowed the mapping of relational data to RDF. However, the amount of semantic Web data is still many orders of magnitude smaller than the World-Wide-Web, and this limits semantic Web applications. One ...
متن کاملSelecting and Extracting Effective Features of SSVEP-based Brain-Computer Interface
User interfaces are always one of the most important applied and study fields of information technology. The development and expansion of cognitive science studies and functionalization of its tools such as BCI1, as well as popularization of methods such as SSVEP2 to stimulate brain waves, have led to using these techniques every day, especially in appropriate solutions for physically and menta...
