This paper summarizes research on demonstrational interfaces. With a demonstrational interface, the user performs actions, and the system then generates an abstract program. Such techniques are called Programming by Demonstration (PBD). PBD systems have been developed in many application domains. This paper classifies PBD systems on the basis of their application domains, and explains the features of various systems. One of the important techniques used in PBD systems is inductive inference. This paper describes the inference mechanism and interaction techniques used in PBD systems.
