Generating the complete control environment interface for EASIE

The Environment for Application Software Integration and Execution (EASIE) was designed to meet the needs of conceptual design engineers that face the task of integrating the results of many stand alone engineering analysis programs. EASIE is a set of utility programs which supports rapid integration and execution of programs about a central relational database, and it provides users with two basic modes of executing operations: Application Derived Executive (ADE), a menu-driven execution mode which provides users with sufficient guidance to quickly review data, select menu action items, and execute application programs, and Complete Control Executive (CCE), which provides a full executive interface, allowing users in-depth control of the design process. Users can switch between these modes as needed. This project will consider the CCE mode interface. Two objectives of this project are to redesign the selecting menus by using a windowing system and to reorganize the selecting structures of the selecting menus. The project will be implemented in the C window system, OSF/Motif version.
