Generating interactive web pages from storyboards

Web design is a visual art, but web designs are code. Designers work visually and must then manually translate their designs to code. We propose using synthesis to automatically translate the storyboards designers already produce into CSS stylesheets and JavaScript code. To build a synthesis tool for this complex domain, we will use a novel composition mechanism that allows splitting the synthesis task among domain-specific solvers. We have built a domain-specific solver for CSS stylesheets; solvers for DOM actions and JavaScript code can be built with similar techniques. To compose the three domain-specific solvers, we propose using partial counterexamples to exchange information between different domains. Early results suggest that this composition mechanism is fast and allows specializing each solver to its domain.
