Abstract

User interface development systems for software environments have to cope with the broad, dynamic, and extensible scope of such environments, must support internal and external integration, and should enable various software development strategies. The Chiron-1 system adapts and extends some key ideas from current research in user interface development systems to address the particular demands of such environments. Important Chiron-1 concepts are: separation of concerns, client/server architecture, dynamism, hybrid language interface, and open architecture. The authors discuss the requirements on such user interface development systems, present the Chiron-1 system, describe the concepts it embodies, and report on their experiences with its design
