The Guilet Dialog Model and Dialog Core for Graphical User Interfaces

Model-based approaches to graphical user interfaces (GUIs) achieved poor acceptance of software engineers because the offer models, architectures, components, frameworks and libraries that restrict the flexibility of development too much. We propose a dialog model which enables flexible development with no restrictions on presentation and application layer and without any implementation-technology dependence. The dialog model supports GUI designers and developers in understanding the behavior of the GUI. The dialog model controls the dialog core component. The dialog component relieves GUI developers of re-implementing the coordination of presentation and application layer.
