Abstract :
Describes a new window system for BTRON2 which aims to decrease the effort of GUI programming. It is characterized by its architecture and programming interface, which can support the programming of a groupware-like style of GUI, cut and paste functionality, `automatic-execution of fusen´, etc. As a basis of the authors´ GUI programming model, they propose a dialogue model and an abstract event/window call set; a GUI programming interface based on the dialogue model. They propose window shared data pool (WSDP): software which realizes the Abstract Event/Window Call set. They describe their construction of several application programs on its prototype with a small amount of source code. Furthermore, they discuss its implementation issues on BTRON2
