TY - JOUR AU1 - Marques,, J.Alves AU2 - Guimarāes,, Nuno AU3 - Simōes,, L.Pinto AB - Abstract The paper describes the user interface (UI) environment developed for the SOMIW (Secure Open Multimedia Integrated Workstation) project. The basic goals of the project were the definition of a comprehensive architecture handling all relevant UI concepts and the implementation of an interface generator integrated in the programming environment. Others goals were related to the specific requirements of a multimedia workstation (image, voice synthesis and recognition), distribution and integration with the operating system. The architecture of the user interface management system is based on a conceptual virtual environment defined by an object-oriented computational model, and visualisation and input models. This environment is described in the initial sections, followed by an outline of the specification and generation tools. We conclude by describing the internal details of IMAGES, the implementation techniques in development and the target machines.
