Computer programs emerge as the outcome of complex human processes of cognition, communication and negotiation, which serve to establish the meaningful embedding of the computer system in its intended use context.

Putten, Jan van, Scharenborg, Nardie and Woerlee, Auke (1993): A Generic User Interface Constructor for Planning and Scheduling Applications. In: Alty, James L., Diaper, Dan and Guest, D. (eds.) Proceedings of the Eighth Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers VIII August 7-10, 1993, Loughborough University, UK. pp. 143-156.

This paper describes a generic user interface construction tool for planning and scheduling applications. By means of predefined graphical representations, a user interface can easily be defined for any data model associated to a planning or scheduling problem. The set of predefined representations currently contains: a tabular view, a map, a Gantt chart and a bar chart. A planning or scheduling application is constructed by choosing the underlying data model and subsequently defining one or more graphical representations where particular elements of the data model are attached to the axes in those representations. The Model View Control paradigm is applied in order to guarantee that the representations show the actual contents of the data model, that is, to preserve consistency.
