There are lots of mailing systems available for Apple Macintosh computers. But when this research was started, there were no Voice Mail System for the Macintosh. However, a similar system was available for the NeXT machine. So the main goal of this research was to develop a Voice Mail System...
In this project we have implemented an Object-Oriented simulation model of a Digital Switching System. We analyzed various software components of a Digital Switching System. The call processing module is the principal component and the most complex of all. The features of Object-Oriented principles were investigated and found to fit...
The task of designing and building the user interface portion of a Macintosh application is radically different than the same task on a more conventional computer with a conventional operating system. Just the fact that it is radically different makes it very time consuming to learn how to program this...
Oregon Speedcode Universe (OSU) is a rapid prototyping system that provides a total environment for creating applications. Given such a vacuous prototyping system consisting of sequenced user interface objects can domain specific application functions be incorporated? Furthermore, can functionality be added by automatic or semi automatic techniques? This research attempts...
This research paper is limited to the User Interface of the modeling language of HELM (Hierarchical Environment for Linear Modeling). In attempt to better describe the user interface for HELM, some examples and portions of Carol Brown's report are included for ease of reading and a brief overview of the...
Software applications that successfully employ a grap ica user interface to display and manipulate their data are recognized as easy to use and difficult to implement. While the complexity of such applications has increased dramatically, the tools available to application designers have not advanced at the same pace. Current tools...
This is an attempt to deal with interface problems of interacting modules in a large simulation system.
In simulation, scientists require routine substitution of modules for comparison of alternative models. These changes have propagating side affects and from a programmer's point of view are essentially system redesigns.
This paper presents...
This report describes the Graphical Editor part of DataLab, a visual programming tool for the specification and synthesis of abstract data types (ADTs). DataLab consists of two major components: graphical editor and source code generator. The graphical editor is used to design an abstract data structure and its operations by...
