Abstract:

Serpent is a user interface management system UIMS that supports the development and implementation of user interfaces, providing an editor to specify the user interface and a runtime system that enables communication between the application and the end user.

Readers should be familiar with general UIMS concepts, have a working knowledge of programming languages, and understand the concepts described in Serpent Overview and Serpent System Guide.
