Multi-way versus One-way Constraints in User Interfaces: Experience with the DeltaBlue Algorithm
The e cient satisfaction of constraints is essential to the performance of constraint-based user interfaces. In the past, most constraint-based user interfaces have used one-way rather than multiway constraints because of a widespread belief that one-way constraints were more e cient. In this paper we argue that many user interface construction problems are handled more naturally and elegantly ...
متن کاملSupporting Interactive Animation Using Multi-way Constraints
This paper presents how the animation subsystem of an interactive environment for the visual construction of 3D animations has been modeled on top of an object-oriented constraint imperative architecture. In our architecture, there is no intrinsic diierence between user-interface and application objects. Multi-way dataaow constraints provide the necessary tight coupling among components that ma...
متن کاملThe Usefulness of Constraints for Diagram Editing
This paper examines the usefulness of constraintbased alignment and distribution tools in graphical editors. Currently one-way constraints are used to provide alignment and distribution tools in many commercial editors. In this paper we discuss how limitations of oneway constraints lead to serious usability issues with such tools. To overcome these limitations, we show how to implement alignmen...
متن کاملAdvanced Relaying Methods for One-Way and Two-Way Communication
In wireless communication, relays are devices that receive and forward radio signals. Relays are attractive as they can increase the coverage of cellular networks. Moreover, relays improve the robustness of the wireless radio communication as they create additional signal paths. In this thesis, we propose novel schemes for oneand two-way communication in wireless relay networks. We aim to selec...
متن کاملAnalyzing and Debugging Hierarchies of Multi-way Local Propagation Constraints
Multi-way local propagation constraints are a powerful and exible tool for implementing applications such as graphical user interfaces. We have built constraint solvers that maintain sets of preferential multiway constraints, and integrated them into user interface development environments. These solvers are based on the formal theory of constraint hierarchies, leaving weaker constraints unsati...
