Graphical user interfaces for symbol-oriented database visualization and interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this approach, two basic services designed for the engineering of computer based systems (ECBS) are combined: a symbol-oriented man-machine-service and a high speed database-service. The man-machine service is used to build graphical user interfaces (GUI’s) for the database service; these interfaces are stored using the database service. The idea is to create a GUI-builder and a GUI-manager for the database service based upon the man-machine service using the concept of symbols. With user-definable and predefined symbols, database contents can be visualized and manipulated in a very flexible and intuitive way. Using the gui-builder and gui-manager, a user can build and operate its own graphical user interface for a given database according to its needs without writing a single line of code.

Interaction-rules for symbol-oriented graphical user interfaces
This work describes a way of interactive manipulation of structured objects by interaction rules. Symbols are used as graphical representation of object states. State changes lead to different visual symbol instances. The manipulation of symbols using interactive devices lead to an automatic state change of the corresponding structured object without any intervention of the application. Therefo...

متن کامل1 Experiences with Super , a Database Visual Environment
We present our experiences with building SUPER 1 , a database environment based on a structurally object-oriented entity-relationship model, called ERC+. SUPER is designed to be a semantically rich user-friendly front-end to existing relational or object-oriented database systems. We focus on the functionalities of visual direct manipulation interfaces of SUPER, in particular the schema and the...
متن کاملVisualization and Manipulation of Structured Information
In modern object oriented visual information systems the internal state of the entire system consists of the internal states of many objects in diierent services, probably distributed over a heterogeneous network of computers. Man machine interaction in such an application is based on the visualization of states on one hand and the modiication of states on the other hand. A solution for this pr...
متن کاملAutomatic Generation of User Interfaces from Data Structure Speciications and Object-oriented Application Models
Applications in scientiic computing operate with data of complex structure and graphical tools for data editing, browsing and visualization are necessary. Most approaches to generating user interfaces provide some interactive layout facility together with a specialized language for describing user interaction. Realistic automated generation approaches are largely lacking, especially for applica...
