Hi folks !

Wanted: contact with people doing research on graphical editors /
generation of editors for languages with graphical syntax /
User Interface design based on graphical specification

Have: here at SICS we have (among others things) one project on
generation of graphical editors (syntax/structure oriented) and one on
designing user interfaces using graphical specification. We have so far
implemented two tools, one called LOGGIE which is a generator of
graphical editors = you enter a specification of the language (abstract syntax
plus concrete syntax) and you get an graphical (= pictures) editor for
the language. We have so far designed two editors,
one for CCS (= you draw automata) and one for G-LOTOS (= Graphical LOTOS).
The other system is called YAFFY and is something like
hypercard for the Medley system (= a system for designing dialog boxes). Both
systems are of course written in Medley.
