Abstract

Rendering is defined to be a customized presentation of data in such a way that allows users to subsequently interact with the presented data. Traditionally such a user interface would be a custom application written using conventional programming languages; in contrast we propose an application-independent, declarative (i.e., what-you-want) language that we call Rendering By Example, RBE, with the capability to specify a wide variety of renderings. RBE is a domain calculus language over user interface widgets. Most previous domain calculus database languages (e.g., QBE, LDL, Datalog) mainly addressed the data processing problem. The main contribution in developing RBE is to model semantics of user interactions in a declarative way. This declarative specification not only allows quick and ad-hoc specification of renderings (i.e., user interfaces) but also provides a framework to understand renderings as an abstract concept, independent of the application. Further, such a linguistic abstraction provides the basis for user-interface research. RBE is part of the ICBE language that is being prototyped in the Picture Programming project at HP Labs.<>

RBE:通过示例呈现

呈现被定义为一种自定义的数据表示方式，允许用户随后与呈现的数据进行交互。传统上，这样的用户界面将是使用传统编程语言编写的自定义应用程序;相反，我们提出了一种独立于应用程序的声明性(也就是，你想要什么就说什么)语言，我们称之为示例呈现(Rendering By Example, RBE)，它具有指定多种呈现的能力。RBE是一种基于用户界面小部件的领域演算语言。以前的领域演算数据库语言(如QBE、LDL、Datalog)主要解决数据处理问题。开发RBE的主要贡献是以声明的方式对用户交互的语义进行建模。这种声明性规范不仅允许快速和特别的渲染(即用户界面)规范，而且还提供了一个框架，将渲染作为一个抽象概念来理解，独立于应用程序。此外，这种语言抽象为用户界面研究提供了基础。RBE是ICBE语言的一部分，目前正在HP实验室的图片编程项目中原型化。
