Interactor-based architectures for Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) model an interface as a composition of interacting objects that each present internal state to the user and provide operations on that state. One such architecture is Presentation-Abstraction-Control (PAC). Architectures such as PAC can be described as a combination of design patterns.We use the patterns to derive a PAC architecture for a file browser application from a corresponding Object-Z specification.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
