Web-Advertised Generators and Design Wizards

Domain-specific generators will increasingly rely on Web-based applets for declarative specifications of target applications. Applets will communicate with generators via servers to produce customized code on demand. Critical to the success of this approach will be domain-specific design wizards, tools that guide users in their selection of components for constructing particular applications. In this paper, we present the P3 ContainerStore applet, its generator, and design wizard.
