Design of an Object-Oriented Syntax for UIL,
the User Interface Language of the Space Station Freedom
Abstract
This MS Thesis proposes a syntax definition for UIL. The UIL (User
Interface Language) provides the man-machine interface for most of the
test and operation command procedures on the forthcoming Space Station
Freedom. The UIL will be structured like a natural language, and will
be object-oriented. UIL will also be extensively used for the
development and testing of experiments on the ground, and the remote
execution of these experiments. The UIL, for example, could be used to
command, from the ground, several hardware valves and pumps located
within a laboratory located aboard the Space Station Freedom. The
command to open the valve on a heat exchanger might be: OPEN HEAT
EXCHANGER VALVE TO 85%.
