A recent article is:

	Deborah Mix: Generations of User-Interface Management Systems
	IEEE Software, Sept. 1990

It contains a reasonably good overview of UIMS systems.  Its more an
introduction to UIMS tools than a technical comparison of each.  Some
technical details may be inaccurate, but that's of minor importance, I
think. An interesting touch is the division for UIMS into 1st, 2nd,
3rd and 4th generation systems. Don't take it too seriously.

There was a comparison between TeleUSE and UIMX as 'the 2 best UIMS
(User Interface Management) tools', based on the poster's research in
april to comp.windows.x.  Although it may reflect the state of affairs
at that time (big grin ;-), it should probably not be taken as an
indication of the current state of the art - things happen all the
time.

Hope this is of any help,
