Visual specification of multi-view visual environments

We describe a set of visual tools for specifying and generating multi-view visual environments. JComposer provides an architecture description language for defining environment repositories, view models, and view-repository mappings. A visual event-flow language permits annotation of JComposer diagrams with event handlers specifying environment semantics. BuildByWire supports constraint-based visual specification of graphical elements for JComposer-based environments. JVisualise provides support for visualisation, querying and end-user modification of environment semantics.
