CSPL 環境的使用者界面系統

Abstract

CSPL (Concurrent Software Process Language) 是一個以類似 Ada95 語法的軟體程序語言。本論文是對此環境的使用者界面做研究。由於軟體 程序領域的本質過於複雜, 所以當想要建立一個好用的、有用的、容易被 使用者接受的環境, 則必須在領域分析階段多下工夫。因此, CSPL 使用 者界面系統的分析採用 FLUID 方法將domain knowledge 合併於其中, 此 方法包含三個階段: 1) 領域分析、2) 工作分析及3) 使用者界面分析, 希望藉此來改善這個使用者界面系統的一致性與可用性。然後創造出一種 方法將這些分析的結果轉換為使用者界面設計, 以確保這個系統的分析與 設計能整合在一起。接著在主從式架構下以 Motif 語言將這個使用者界 面實作出來。在CSPL 環境中工具的管理也是由這個系統所操作。 CSPL (Concurrent Software Process Language) is an Ada95-like software processenvironment. This paper covers its user interface system. Because of the complexityinherent in the software process domain, the domain analysis aspect should be paid specialattention in building such a system - if we intend to have an environment that is useful,helpful, and well-accepted by the software developers. Therefore, the analysis of theCSPL user interface system incorporates the domain knowledge by using the FLUIDmethodology. The methodology consists of three phases: 1) domain analysis, 2) task analysis, and 3) user interface analysis. The analysis improves consistency and usability of the user interface system. Next, a methodology is developed to transform the analysis results to the user interface design. This practice assures integration of analysis and design of the system. The user interface system is then implemented in Motif language on a client-server architecture. Tool management of the CSPL environment is also handled by the system.
