Abstract
User interface facilities are a crucial part of the infrastructure of a software environment. The authors discuss the particular demands and constraints on a user interface management system (UIMS) for a software environment, and the relation between the architecture of the environment and the UIMS. A model for designing user interface management systems for large, extensible environments is presented. This model synthesizes several recent advances in user interfaces and specializes them to the domain of software environments. The model can be applied to a wide variety of environment contexts. A prototype implementation is described
