| 23. | Constraints for the Web | | | Constraints can specify desired layout of web documents, and behavior of embedded applets: 2 system architectures where author and viewer can make layout constraints, needed and optional. Final appearance of page comes from negotiation between author and viewer, via solving all the constraints. www.cs.washington.edu |
| 24. | A Differential Approach to Graphical Interaction | | | The ad hoc manner in which direct manipulation interfaces have been designed and implemented restricts the types of interactive controls. This dissertation presents a new approach for a systematic method to implement flexible, combinable interactive controls. www.cs.wisc.edu |
