I treasure an ancient paper by David Gries (his name does not pop up at all
on discussion groups where I hang around, he was an early compiler
construction researcher) on data structures and algorithms for user
interfaces, although I recall little of what I once understood from that
paper. That was incidentally published in the IBM Journal for Research and
Development.
What little I do recall, seems not to have been overtaken by modern tools
at all. Practically every HTML "form" construct was described by Gries way
back in the 1970s.
