%X This paper presents a novel development method for
interactive and distributedapplications. The benefit that
this method provides is that the design gives clearguidance
towards the implementation. The method is based on three
mainelements: a concept of synchronous active objects that
is closely related to thatfound in CSP; the Java
environment; and a selection of the diagrams defined byUML.
This approach alleviates many of the most serious problems
that areencountered when using GUI builders, which hide the
application structures andso make it difficult to devise
sound architectures. The final part of the paper
brieflydescribes an application generator that will help a
developer to implement a designwhich is developed according
to the approach advocated here.
