The problem addressed in this paper is that of usability of the Petri Net Editor used to create applications in the Objex framework. This editor puts a lot of burden on the user, in that the user needs to remember all the GUI resources previously created for the application, has...
Development of graphical user interface (GUI) applications is difficult since the process can be both complicated and tedious. We propose a solution directed at reducing programming time and effort required to build a GUI application. Our solution is based on the Petri Network, the Oregon SpeedCode Universe (OSU) Application Framework,...
Graphical user interface (GUI) applications based on object-oriented design are difficult to build without a supportive tool to graphically visualize the structure of the entire application. As an application becomes larger and more complex, it becomes harder to visualize its class hierarchy. Several systems, such as Smalltalk, MacApp, THINK C...
Applications supporting a graphical user interface (GUI) are difficult to write. While existing tools can accelerate software development, they suffer from a number of problems that limit their helpfulness. They offer too little functionality, and support only a small part of the GUI software development task. They lack architectural models...
A new technique of implementing the object-oriented language Little Smalltalk is developed using tuple space communication of Linda. In this implementation, the language's abstract constructs such as object, class, and method are naturally mapped into tuple space. Since Linda's tuple space is designed to facilitate parallel processing, this implementation technique...
