Abstract A promising approach to Computer-Aided Design of User Interfaces (CADUI)
is Programming by Example, where an interface designer demonstrates the be
havior of an interface by presenting concrete examples and demonstrating how
the system should behave on those examples. It lets the user interface designer
"play end-user", simulating what an end-user would see and do. A software
agent records the steps of the user interface and generalizes a program that can
be used in analogous situations in the future. The popular genre of so-called
Interface Builders can be seen as a "poor-man's" Programming by Example. It
is now time to extend such systems so that behavior as well as appearance can
be specified by example.
Keywords: Computer-aided design, Interface builders, Machine learning, Programming by
demonstration, Programming by example, Software agents.
1. CAD/CAM AND USER INTERFACE DESIGN
The goal of Computer-aided Design of User Interfaces (CADUI) is to
enlist the computer to aid an interface designer in constructing an interactive
interface to be eventually used by an end-user. This point of view is by anal
ogy to Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD
or CAD/CAM). CAD traditionally refers to tools to visualize, describe, edit
and test manufactured artifacts, which are now an indispensable part of all
manufacturing and production processes.
Computer-Aided Design systems are successful in manufacturing be
cause they replace the specifications of numerical parameters, a task difficult
