Abstract
The object-oriented view of the user interface presented here is a model of object responsibilities-sharing and cooperation for a typical user interface. The model regards the user interface as a three-layer architecture, with the application contributing to one of the layers called the application exposure, The model seeks to promote user interface software reuse by coupling the user interface and the application with well-defined message protocols, by properly allocating user interfacefunctions to the layers so as to reduce and discipline their dependencies, and byfactoring complex abstractions into reusable secondary components.
