• 論文抄録 / 内容記述: This paper describes techniques for developing assistance functions for Web form input operations. The techniques allow developers to define input-assistance functions as a set of assistance rules. A software module called a rule compiler converts these rules into a program that implements the assistance functions defined in them. The program is embedded into a Web form to monitor a user's input operations on a Web browser and to provide assistance functions such as help-message displays validation checks of input values and automatic inputs in accord with the user's input operations. By defining assistance functions as a set of assistance rules developers can implement interactive Web forms without any complicated script programming. Therefore it is possible to rapidly prototype assistance functions and reduce the development cost of the interactive Web forms. This paper explains the details of the assistance rules and describes the design and implementation of a prototype system in detail. The prototype system includes a tool for defining assistance rules in a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) environment and a form generation module including a rule compiler. The productivity of assistance function development and system performance are evaluated and discussed with reference to the prototype system. The results show that the prototype system can greatly reduce the cost of assistance function development and that helpful forms can be generated very quickly.
