An emerging trend in Social Networking sites and Web portals is the opening up of their APIs to external application develop- ers. For example, the Facebook Platform, Google Gadgets and Yahoo! Widgets allow developers to design their own applications, which can then can be integrated with the platform and shared with other users. However, current APIs are targeted towards develop- ers with programming expertise and database knowledge; they are not accessible to a large class of users who do not have a programming/database background, but would nevertheless like to create new applications. To address this need, we have developed the AppForge system, which provides a WYSIWYG application development platform. Users can graphically specify the components of webpages inside a Web browser, and the corresponding database schema and application logic will be automatically generated on the fly by the system.

With the rise of model-driven development, model repositories are intended to facilitate research in model engineering and consequently in domain-specific modeling. Model repositories are central places where all kinds of modeling artifacts (e.g., meta-metamodels, metamodels, models, and possibly transformation models) are stored and coordinated. They can serve as a platform for making available the specification of metamodels to others (typically necessary for domain-specific modeling languages) and for exchanging models, as well as a resource for teaching/learning materials.

This document describes how to use Microsoft Visual Basic to quickly and easily create a graphical front-end for a CSIM19 simulation written in C. The example used in this document is a simple service center phone bank. The source for this example is included with this document. You will not be able to compile the source yourself unless you own the CSIM19 libraries. This document assumes that readers are reasonably familiar with CSIM19 and basically proficient in Microsoft Visual Basic and Microsoft Visual C++. Obviously the methods described here are also applicable in other development environments, as long as users know their preferred development tools well enough.
