演示接口，接口，让用户执行具体的例子对象的动作，同时构造一个抽象的程序，从而让用户创建参数化的过程和对象，而无需学习编程语言，进行了讨论。演示接口的动机和相关的问题。还介绍了各种类型的接口的调查。将受益于示范技术，包括通用编程，可视化，直接操作界面的宏，绘图包，文本编辑和格式化，和用户界面开发环境，进行了讨论。涉及示范接口的研究问题进行审查。<<ETX>>
Demonstrational interfaces, interfaces that let the user perform actions on concrete example objects while constructing an abstract program, thus letting the user create parameterized procedures and objects without learning a programming language, are discussed. The motivations for and problems associated with demonstrational interfaces are presented. A survey of the various types of interfaces is also presented. Areas that would benefit from demonstrational technology, including general-purpose programming, visualization, macros for direct-manipulation interfaces, drawing packages, text editing and formatting, and user interface development environments, are discussed. Research issues involving demonstrational interfaces are reviewed.<<ETX>>
