UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE (SF = Sandford Fleming, 10 King's College Rd.) COMPUTER SYSTEMS SEMINAR - Wednesday, April 17, 4 pm, SF 1105 Mary Shaw Carnegie-Mellon University "An Input-Output Model for Interactive Systems" Abstract I discuss an aspect of programming that is frequently neglected and describe how recent developments in computing technology will force us to rethink old habits. The neglected aspect of programming is input-output; the recent developments in technology are interactive personal worksta- tions with high- performance displays, and the old habits are program organizations appropriate to batch processing. I will suggest a new view of input and output and suggest a new program organization strategy appropriate to interactive software.
