This paper, and the papers

"InterViews: A C++ Graphical Interface Toolkit", Mark A. Linton,
Paul R. Calder, and John M Vlissides, Stanford University, (An early
version of this paper appears in Proceedings of the USENIX C++ Workshop,
Santa Fe, New Mexico, November, 1987)

and

"Applying Object-Oriented Design to Structured Graphics", John M.
Vlissides and Mark A. Linton, Stanford University (Appears in the Proceedings
of the USENIX C++ Conference, Denver, Colorado, October, 1988)

come with the InterViews distribution on interviews.stanford.edu.
Reference manual pages and a set of slides on InterViews come on there also.
You can get on the InterViews mailing list by mailing to
interviews-request@interviews.stanford.edu.

You may also wish to look at ET++, which is a toolkit that is somewhat like
InterViews.  The paper to read is

"ET++ - An Object-Oriented Application Framework in C++", Andre Weinand,
Erich Gamma, Rudolf Marty, Institute for Informatics, University of Zurich,
Zurich Switzerland.  (This paper appears in OOPSLA '88 Conference Proceedings,
September 25-30, 1988, San Diego, California).

ET++ is based on MacApp and runs under SunView (although an X port is planned
and may be completed by now.)  Brown University did a comparison of 
InterViews, ET++ and some other toolkits but I cannot give you a reference
on that paper because we have not received it yet.  Perhaps someone else can
help.
