| Abstract: | Increasingly, computerized systems tend to delegate certain portions of
their functionality to other systems. This is routinely done by systems
that use Data Base Management Systems (DBMS) to manage their data. The
DBMS is in charge of all data related operations. A similar phenomena is
emerging in the area of graphical user-interfaces. As more of these
delegation phenomena occur, the establishment of flexible communication
channels for the different applications becomes increasingly important.
We propose to achieve this communication by establishing a set of
relationships between the applications. These relationships will be
specified by bridge laws, i.e. laws that establish bridges between
different domains. We concentrate on a particular example: coupling
arbitrary applications to a hypertext user interface. In terms of the
discussion above, one of the systems in consideration is fixed. We study
the elements that are needed in order to establish effective bridge
laws. We do this by defining a general framework and providing two
examples. The first example deals with a Data Base Management System,
and the second one with a model management system. The examples show
that in order to achieve effective interaction between a system and a
hypertext interface, some meta-knowledge is required. We extrapolate
from our experiments to conclude the type of general properties of
bridge laws that are necessary to achieve this high level type of
process communication. |
