TL;DR: FADS provides direct access to a relational database, a standard model of the user interface, built-in form constructs, and an integrated development and debugging environment and the resulting systems are easy to modify.

Abstract: This paper describes FADS --- a Form Application Development System which is an interactive system for the development of form-based database applications. FADS reduces the amount of work required to implement a forms application by suppressing much of the detail which would be required by conventional tools (e.g., a screen definition system, a database system, and a programming language). FADS provides direct access to a relational database, a standard model of the user interface, built-in form constructs, and an integrated development and debugging environment. Using FADS, form applications can be developed quickly and the resulting systems are easy to modify.A prototype implementation of the FADS kernel has been completed.

The design of POSTGRES
Michael Stonebraker,Lawrence A. Rowe +1 more
- 15 Jun 1986
TL;DR: The main design goals of the new system are toprovide better support for complex objects, provide user extendibility for data types, operators and access methods, provide facilities for active databases and inferencing including forward- and backward-chaining.

Universal forms engine

- 04 Jun 1999
TL;DR: In this article, a forms engine allows data sharing between customizable on-line forms, such as college admissions applications, allowing data validation rules and data sharing and grouping rules, as well as dependency rules that permit application page content to depend on applicant's responses on a previous page.

Visual Query Systems for Databases
TL;DR: This work identifies several user types and match the VQS classes against them, in order to understand which kind of system may be suitable for each kind of user, and introduces a classification based on such features, namely the adopted visual representations and the interaction strategies.

An algebra for structured office documents
TL;DR: This is the first model based on a many-sorted instead of a one-sorts algebra, which means that atomic data values as well as nested structures are objects of the algebra, and can be used directly as a rich query language for office documents with precisely defined semantics.

Specification of Forms Processing and Business Procedures for Office Automation
TL;DR: This paper presents a formal means for specification of forms processing, the underlying concept is that business functions can be decomposed into meaningfuliy connected form processes where each process either produces or modifies a form.
