MoDE: An Object-Oriented User Interface Development Environment Based on the Concept of Mode

Abstract

This thesis explores a particular concept of mode that can provide a unified conceptual framework for user interfaces and can lead to an effective implementation environment for developing a rich variety of user interfaces. This research has addressed several important limitations faced by most user interface management systems (UIMSs). These include: (1) Lack of generality; (2) Little support for creating and managing the connections between user interfaces and their underlying applications; and (3) Lack of support beyond the coding phase.
