Abstract

The designer's description of an application contains much information that is useful in explaining its working. Extending the designer's description of the information processing system can allow for the construction of applications that are self explanatory. Defines a language which connects the designer's description with the implemented functionality of the application. Describes the extended design methodology, and outlines its use by an instructor. An electronic mail application was built, which ilustrates how the approach leads to a system capable of supplying intelligent help
