Segue: Support for Distributed Graphical Interfaces
Abstract
The authors describe their experiences developing Segue, an interface tool for supporting application programs that manipulate tree-like data structures. This semantic domain, although restrictive, includes a number of important application programs, such as structured editors, incremental compilers, and file system managers. The user interface tools described here support the Distributed Ada Programming Support Environment (DAPSE). The authors discuss the structure of Segue, present the R2D unparsing system, and examine tree-to-tree mappings. They then present three Segue user interfaces: an Ada editor, an Ada library manager, and the Gift interface specification tool.

In this paper the design and implementation of the University of Alberta user interface management system (UIMS) is discussed. This UIMS is based on the Seeheim model of user interfaces, which divides the user interface into three separate components. ...
One-line GUI: minimized graphic user interface for interactive TV
OzCHI '13: Proceedings of the 25th Australian Computer-Human Interaction Conference: Augmentation, Application, Innovation, CollaborationIn this research, we have developed an interactive television (ITV) interface, which has different context than a conventional television. We assumed that people do not want to be disturbed of their watching experience by a large graphic user interface (...
