Title
Application integration: constructing composite applications from interactive components
Abstract
Creating new applications by integrating user interface and application components is a relatively new idea which is currently of wide interest. A significant part of this problem is dearly defining the separation between user interface and application components. This paper proposes a new design methodology based on the concept of an abstract data view (ADV), a structuring method which cleanly defines this separation. A number of examples of composite interactive documents, ones which could contain several different user interfaces with entities such as text, calculations, drawings and possibly even multi-media presentations, illustrate the ADV concept. These examples lead naturally to the introduction of the concept of hole, a user interface area in a composite interactive document which is managed by an external program, and uses ADVs. Prototypes of a number of systems supporting ADVs and holes are currently running in our laboratory.
