As a graph with attributes assigned to its nodes is very well suited for the specification of semistructured application domains, attributed graphs and adequate graph rewriting systems a m also useful tools for the specification and representation of user interfaces based on end user tasks. A rewriting system for aitributed graphs, which is based on the controlled rewriting of graphs using only six elementary types of graph productions, namely the addition, the deletion and the renaming of a node or an edge, is shown to be a suitable unique model for the specification and the simulation of various kinds of user interfaces. In particular, it bridges the gap between conceptual and implementation-oriented development techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
