By accommodating users with diverse needs and backgrounds, user interfaces are revolutionizing the application of computers. Intuitive interfaces allow the user to perform complex tasks with little knowledge of the underlying logic. A popular approach in Artificial Intelligence for temporal knowledge representation and reasoning is to use first order logic. In order to use logic the user must understand its syntax and semantics. This thesis presents a logic independent graphical user interface (GUI) and discusses the principles of user interface design. The GUI allows the user to enter, query, and receive temporal information using color-coded symbols. The user does not have to be familiar with the particular logic used by the implementation.
