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 ...

The purpose of the project is to design and develop a GUI (graphical user interface) based Driver information system. Instrument clusters are the traditional readout meters available in the dashboard of cars and motorbikes. In regard of the conventional meters that are in existence, the analog meters have disadvantages in lack of storage capability and accuracy whereas digital meters have displ...

Graphical user interface (GUI) design is a core part of games development, as it is responsible for the look and feel of a game to players. However, GUI design is often overlooked and also time consuming. This paper presents a novel architecture design of a lightweight extensible GUI framework for games to ease the pains of GUI design. Firstly, the core architecture of the GUI framework is desc...

GUI builder tools are widely used in practice to develop the user interface of software systems. Typically they are visual programming tools that support direct-manipulative assembling of the user interface components. We have developed the tool GuiBuilder which follows a model-driven approach to the development of graphical (multimedia) user interfaces. This allows a metadesign approach where ...

Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications & CNRS URA 820 Dept. 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...

In this paper, I describe the development of Attractiveness Walkthrough (AW), a new expert-based technique of evaluating attractiveness of graphical user interface (GUI). I detail an underlying theoretical model, translation of the model implications into an evaluation protocol and planned empirical studies of the model and protocol. GUI designers and engineers may use AW for iterative GUI impr...

This paper gives a platform of simulation data for RFID indoor tracking system, i.e., tracking system graphical user interface. The platform contains input and output interface, and the former includes the radius settings, data generation module and the user guide. The corresponding output interface includes system parameters display and the saving image function, etc. The default parameters ar...

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 p...

The computer programs most users interact with daily are driven by a graphical user interface (GUI). However, many scientific applications are used with a command line interface (CLI) for the ease of development and increased flexibility this mode provides. Scientific application developers would benefit from being able to provide a GUI easily for their CLI programs, thus retaining the advantag...

In this paper we describe findings related to user interface requirements for live electronic music arising from research conducted as part of the first three-year phase of the EUfunded Integra project. A number of graphical user interface (GUI) prototypes developed during the Integra project initial phase are described and conclusions drawn about their design and implementation.
