Abstract/Description
Model-based systems provide methods for supporting the systematic and efficient
development of application interfaces. This paper examines how model-based
technologies can be exploited to develop user interfaces to databases. To this end
five model-based systems, namely Adept, HUMANOID, Mastermind, TADEUS
and DRIVE are discussed through the use of a unifying case study which allows
the examination of the approaches followed by the different systems.
