Abstract

A user-interface architecture, called FireWorks, is described. It consists of a domain-specific toolkit and frameworks for building information retrieval applications. The architecture's expressiveness is demonstrated by first describing an example application, which is designed to help searchers coordinate access to multiple on-line sources. Second, Fire-Works is compared to a similar architecture, called Info-Grid. The comparison focuses debate on what software abstractions are required for implementing a range of effective environments for information seeking.
