The project DIGIS: Digis is to be a user interface management system that aims at Direct Interactive Generation of Interactive Systems. The user of Digis is to be a user interface designer, i.e., someone possessing knowledge in area's like ergonomics, cognitive psychology, and graphic design, but without (extensive) knowledge on programming. Consequently, the concepts offered in the user interface (UI) of Digis should be closely related to the concepts that interface designers use in their work. We strive as much as possible to provide direct manipulation techniques for the design of UIs. Digis will also give support on ergonomic aspects, by providing ergonomic guidelines in its design environment. *** The project VIEWS: Designing a System for Human Use: The Views System Steven Pemberton, CWI, Amsterdam Views is an open-architecture computing environment designed to make new applications easy to add, and all applications easy to use. It is a framework for applications such that the system can be put to productive use by end users without much training in using computers, for varying tasks that are relatively complicated and not necessarily well structured. This is achieved through the consistent uniformity and extreme conceptual simplicity of the interface and the high level of integration between functions of the environment. The user interface is part of the kernel of the system so that all applications automatically have the same user interface, and objects from other applications may be exchanged between applications without any loss of structure, allowing the objects to be accessed by the user in the same way regardless of which application has imported them. The user's conceptual model of the system is that all objects in the system are editable, and that all actions are achieved by editing objects: if an object is changed -- by the user, or from some other source -- the world is changed to match (in the same way that you use a thermostat). The institute SERC: The Software Engineering Research Centre (SERC) is located in the city of Utrecht, the Netherlands. It was founded in 1987 on governmental funding. Participants are companies, that pay a yearly contribution, and universities. By 1993, SERC should be able to exist on these contributions only. Activities include knowledge transfer between universities and industry, and research. All research is related to a central framework, called SEED (Software Engineering for Event-Driven environments). Currently, four major research area's are addressed: System Composition \& Reuse, Cooperative Computing, Methods \& Tools, and Human-Computer Interaction.
