Object-oriented design leads to the integration of user interface and application interface. There have been offered knowledge based methods. The chair Programming Languages and Compilers is the contact address in the field of Interactive Work with Computers . In the general description of the tasks the architecture of a modern integrated programming-aid resp. Here, coacting of the components, i.e., intelligent agents, in the UIDS are realized on blackboards.
Special emphasis is on usability testing of the interactive system under development.
Working with Eiffel we are interested in the treatment of assertions in the program text, combined with the possibilities of the program verification and the improvement of program reliability. Now, a wide variety of topics are addressed, many of them in the scope of industrial cooperations. Literature Interactive Programming Systems Mainly in the scope of intermediate and diploma thesis work of students some interactive programming systems have been developed, mostly suggested by industrial cooperations. Also studies comparing such products have been done. By this activities we contribute to a knowhow-transfer where we are also particularly interested in an ergonomically satisfactory design of the user interface.
