The Laplace/Poisson solver Relax3d has been used extensively in cyclotron central region design and other accelerator and beam physics applications. It is typically run in an interactive mode where the user types in commands and parameters to initiate and control the solution process and to view or output the results. This paper describes a graphical user interface (GUI) that eliminates most of...

Graphical User Interface (GUI) is essential to programming, as is any other characteristic or feature, due to the fact that GUI components provide the fundamental interaction between the user and the program. Thus, we must give more interest to GUI during building and development of systems. Also, we must give a greater attention to the user who is the basic corner in the dealing with the GUI. ...

Regular expressions are a standard tool for language descriptions, in use for scanner generators and various search engines. Therefore, they and their connection to finite automata is an ubiquitous part of any computer science syllabus. This paper is about a graphical user interface that demonstrates the translation of regular expressions into nondeterministic finite automata. We discuss the de...

The localization of software products is essential for reaching the users of the international market. An important task for this is the translation of the user interface into local national languages. As graphical interfaces are usually optimized for the size of the texts in the original language, after the translation certain user controls (e.g. text labels and buttons in dialogs) may grow in...

OF THE DISSERTATION Decomposition Techniques for Learning Graphical Models

Interactive systems evolve: during their lifetime, new functions are added, and hardware or software parts are changed, which can impact graphical rendering. Tools and methods to design, justify, and validate user interfaces at the level of graphical rendering are still lacking. This not only hinders the design process, but can also lead to misinterpretation from users. This article is an accou...

We present a custom MacOS-based application, ADAM, for analysis of data collected by a three-dimensional atom probe (3DAP). The application is designed to carry out a common set of analysis tasks, to be customizable, to provide easy export and import of data, and to be simple enough for novice users to understand quickly. The integration of both graphical (GUI) and scripting (SUI) user interfac...

Which concepts are general and speci c enough to support hypermedia retrieval? We present in this paper a graphical user interface that makes explicit the following three key concepts for hypermedia retrieval: content of documents, facts about documents and structure of documents. The underlying model is based on a probabilistic object-oriented logic (POOL) that enables content-based querying, ...

Mobile teamwork applications are often deployed in heterogeneous environments with various devices and connections. To support a broad variety of platforms for mobile teamwork in heterogeneous environments, this paper presents a framework for development of applications adaptive to the client’s computing platform. The framework supports both shared data adaptation and user interface adaptation ...

As the threat of terrorism becomes more prevalent, the need for technological innovations for tighter security rises. Some of the areas where security needs to be increased are at border customs stations, airports, federal buildings, embassies, sporting events, and the like where checkpoints are being set up to inspect vehicles coming onto the premises. The proposed vehicle inspection system us...
