DEVICE DEVlCE 1. ScopeandGod The goal of the workshop was to find, evaluate, and dexribe models, principles, methods, and tasks for the design of User Interface Management Systems. This working group concentrated on aspects of this overall goal that are related to the interface between the application and the UIMS. One application was given specific attention: The Computer Aided Design (CAD). CAD is an application that, on one hand, relies on Computer Graphics as one basic component of the whole system. On the other hand, CAD is also an application area where a favourable user interface is of special importance. The application is the most relevant part of the interactive system. If we look at the application-UIMS interface from the viewpoint of the application, we can identify certain requirements which a UIMS must fulfil to serve the application in an optimal way. A problem of specific interest at the application-UIMS interface is the division of responsibility for graphical output between the application and the UIMS.
