Concurrent real-time systems are among the most difficult systems to design because of the many possible interleavings of events and because of the timing requirements that must be satisfied. We have developed a graphical environment based on Real-Time Graphical Interval Logic (RTGIL) for specifying and reasoning about the designs of concurrent real-time systems. Specifications in the logic have an intuitive graphical representation that resembles the timing diagrams drawn by software and hardware engineers, with real-time constraints that bound the durations of intervals. The syntax-directed editor of the RTGIL environment enables the user to compose and edit graphical formulas on a workstation display; the automated theorem prover mechanically checks the validity of proofs in the logic; and the database and proof manager tracks proof dependencies and allows formulas to be stored and retrieved. This article describes the logic, methodology, and tools that comprise the prototype RTGIL environment and illustrates the use of the environment with an example application.

Abstract-Visual interfaces are often poorly designed because the application developers lack graphics design knowledge. Designing effective interfaces requires great effort, especially when many types of graphical objects and relations are involved. In addition, many domain applications require interactive and dynamic graphical interfaces. Existing automatic graphical presentation systems focus on interfaces that convey only static information. Current user interface management systems that facilitate the process of creating interfaces for applications provide no assistance to help developers design the visualization features of interfaces. The aim of this research is to contribute to the design process of interfaces in general and dynamic ones in particular. A model-based framework and prototype tool called ADDI (Automatic Design of Dynamic Interfaces) has been created to help developers design domain-specific visual interfaces. ADDI combines a specification application with various visualization knowledge-base components to automatically generate a visual interface. Therefore, graphical user interface designers, by using ADD I, can select visual properties and hence be able to rapidly and correctly convey information visually according to the task specification in a domain application. Accordingly, high quality and consistent interfaces are generated even when the application developers lack the necessary graphics expertise. ADDI supports visual interface designers in four ways. The first is automatically determining the visual appearance of the interface objects from the Application Model specification. The second is computing the sizes and positions of the visual objects. The third is allowing developers to specify their preferences of designing visual objects. The fourth is aiding them in creating specific interactive presentation functions for end-users to interact with the interface. (0 1997
