Abstract

The analysis and design of a user interface management system (UIMS) for computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) applications is presented. An architecture is proposed that considers three types of users: the system-building user, the application administrator, and the end user. This architecture is a modular toolkit comprised of a logical model builder, a monitor builder, and a module to external database builder, each of which is outlined. The focus is on the logical model builder and its components, a presentation techniques module, a dialogue control module, and an application interface module
