Abstract

Formal methods and visualization techniques are central for the realization of user-centered computing environments: they are responsible for ensuring correctness and comfort of tool usage in application-level development scenarios. Their synergy is the key to a wide acceptance and improved productivity. We illustrate here on a case study how even elaborate formal methods can be profitably used by non experts, providing that they are fully automatable and supported by powerful visualization aids, and how formal methods are the key to a flexible ‘look and feel’ of the presentation-layer, which becomes a customizable commodity within a user-specific configuration space. This way, an application development tool becomes really capable to evolve together with the application, the project, and single user’s needs.
