Design of a Graphics User Interface for a Database Management System.

Abstract

This thesis presents a solution to the problems associated with database management systems. User needs are discussed, with a methodology to meet those needs. It is shown that no current system exists which can satisfy all requirements, so a new system or interface must emerge. The reminder of the thesis presents the design of such a system, called Graphics Language for Accessing a Database (GLAD). The Hierarchical Input Process Output (HIPO) System is used for design representation. (Author)
