Abstract
The goals of user interface management systems (UIMS) research are to reduce the high cost of implementing user interfaces and to increase the functionality of highly interactive, visually oriented user interfaces. The visual interface programming (VIP) system realizes the independence of the interface and computation functions of many programs and allows interface designers, whose expertise might lie in areas other than traditional computer programming, to construct interfaces independent of the development of other program components. The authors describe the structure of VIP and the principles that have guided its development.<>
