INFRES, 46 rue Barrault, 75013 Paris, France EMail: [email protected] URL: http://www.enst.fr/-elc This paper presents “Ubit”, a new graphical toolkit that is based on the “brick construction game” model. This approach makes it possible to create sophisticated application-specific components by combining simple “basic bricks”. All bricks can be shared in order to simplify GUI control and to reduce memory cost. This model supports the the concept of ubiquitous GUI components that are inherently able to display several representations of their content on the screen. At last, Ubit provides a simple and flexible C++ API that makes it possible to specify GUIs in a pseudo-declarative style.

متن کاملA Graphical Modeling Environment for the Generation of Workflows for the Globus Toolkit
Grid computing aims at managing resources in a heterogeneous distributed environment. The Globus Toolkit provides a set of components that can be used to build applications that function in a grid computing system. Presently, applications are typically handcrafted either by using an Application Programming Interface (API) interacting through a set of command line interfaces, or by using a set o...

متن کاملImplementing a Graphical Multi-user Interface Toolkit
Multi-user applications allows users in different locations to simultaneously interact with a common interface. Creating multi-user applications is complicated by issues such as process synchronization, replicated window management, and floor control. As a result, several papers describing toolkits that simplify programming of multi-user applications have appeared in the literature. This paper ...
