Abstract :
Interface flexibility, in terms of both the language system and problem processor response mechanism, depends on the nature of the development tool. A technique is presented for constructing both generic and customized interfaces in the context of an environment-type development tool. A language is introduced for representing an internal layer of knowledge as well as mappings to various generic and/or customized presentation modes of an external layer of knowledge representation and processing. The CML language integrates useful features found in a variety of other languages within a strongly typed context.<>
