In this approach, two basic services designed for the engineering of computer based systems (ECBS) are combined: a symbol-oriented man-machine-service and a high speed database-service. The man-machine service is used to build graphical user interfaces (GUI's) for the database service; these interfaces are stored using the database service. The idea is to create a GUI-builder and a GUI-manager for the database service based upon the man-machine service using the concept of symbols. With user-definable and predefined symbols, database contents can be visualized and manipulated in a very flexible and intuitive way. Using the gui-builder and gui-manager, a user can build and operate its own graphical user interface for a given database according to its needs without writing a single line of code.
