The main emphasis is how to represent a multi-thread dialogue model in direct manipulation user interfaces. It is shown that control sequence within dialogues, communication with other dialogues,and some computations for applications can be specified with a syntactic and semantic notation. The attribute grammar specification can be implemented using an attribute grammar interpreter embedded in the runtime structure supporting communication, synchronization, and dialogue execution.展开更多

The parallelism is achieved by constructing the so-called parallel visit sequences and accordingly augmenting the ordinary evaluation driver as well.

There are, however, many features of the distributed software that make the developing methods of distributed software quite different from the traditional ways. Furthermore, the traditional centralized ways with fixed interfaces cannot adapt to the flexible requirements of distributed software. In this paper, the attributed grammar (AG) is extended to refine the characters of distributed software, and a distributed software architecture description language (DSADL) based on attributed grammar is introduced, and then a model of integrated environment for software architecture design is proposed. It can be demonstrated by the practice that DSADL can help the programmers to analyze and design distributed software effectively, so the efficiency of the development can be improved greatly.展开更多

The model mainly uses symbols of attribute grammar to establish a set of syntax and semantic rules suitable for a semantic network. Based on the model,the paper introduces a formal method defining data flow diagrams (DFD) and also simply explains how to use the method.展开更多

It integrates a hybrid editor,an incremental semantic analyzer,a multi-entry parser,an incremental unpaser and a source-level debugger into a single tool.The integration is realized by sharing common knowledge,among all the components of the system and by task-oriented comhination of the components.Nonlocal attribute grammar is adopted for specifying the common knowledge about the syntax and semantics of C language.The incremental attri bute evaluation is used to implement the semantic analyzer and the unparser to increase system efficiency.CCD keeps the preprocessors and comments most regular to make it practical.展开更多
