  • Reasoning about many-to-many requirement relationships in spreadsheet grids

    Creator:
    Beckwith, Laura A.
    Abstract:
    Traditionally, research into end-user programming has focused on how to make programming more accessible to end users. However, few researchers have considered providing end users with devices to help improve the reliability of the programs they create. To help improve the reliability of spreadsheets created by end users, we are...

  • End-user assertions : propagating their implications

    Creator:
    Summet, Jay W.
    Abstract:
    Spreadsheet languages are the most commonly used end-user programming paradigm, yet spreadsheets commonly contain errors. Research shows that a significant number of spreadsheets (20%-40%) created by end users contain errors. In an attempt to reduce this error rate, this work presents an assertion propagation system for an end-user spreadsheet programming...

  • Inclusive Software Design and Its Methods for Beyond-WIMP User Interfaces

    Creator:
    Fallatah, Abrar
    Abstract:
    While digital inclusivity researchers and software practitioners have been trying to address exclusion biases in Windows, Icons, Menus, and Pointers (WIMP) user interfaces (UIs) for a long time, little has been done to investigate if and how inclusive software design and its methods that have been devised for WIMP UIs...

  • Effects of interruption-style on end-user programmers

    Creator:
    Robertson, T. J. (Thomas James)
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents the results of two studies that investigate the question of what interruption-styles are most appropriate for end-user programmers who are debugging programs. In the studies, end-user programmers are presented with surprises that encourage them to investigate, use, and learn about debugging devices in their programming environment. We...

  • Behaviors and strategies in end-users' collaborative programming

    Creator:
    Liu, Zheng
    Abstract:
    Traditionally, research into end-user programming has focused on how to make programming more accessible to end users conducting the programming activities all by themselves. However, few researchers have considered introducing the concept of collaborative programming into the area of end-user programming, and how the programming environments and devices should be...

  • Generalizing WYSIWYT for use in the screen transition paradigm

    Creator:
    Brown, Darren
    Abstract:
    How can rigorous forms of testing be supported in a way that is both compatible with the visual aspect of visual programming languages, and usable by the audiences using those languages - even when the audience has no background in software engineering? Visual programs are likely to contain at least...

  • Extensions to the WYSIWYT methodology

    Creator:
    Ren, Bing
    Abstract:
    Researchers in the Forms/3 group have previously developed the WYSIWYT methodology, exploring a way of systematically testing spreadsheet languages. The previous work presented the WYSIWYT methodology for individual spreadsheet cells, and later partially extended it to large grids in which some cells share the same formula. The Forms/3 spreadsheet language...

  • How does AAR/AI Support Problem Solvers with Diverse Behaviors and Cognitive Styles?

    Creator:
    Dikkala, Rupika
    Abstract:
    "What’s wrong with this AI?" Explainable AI (XAI) researchers are moving beyond explaining an AI’s actions, to helping users detect an AI’s failures. However this detection may not be enough—for actionability, we often need to pinpoint which part failed. We investigate how AAR/AI, a structured assessment process, supports users with...

  • The expressive power and declarative attributes of exception handling in Forms/3

    Creator:
    Agrawal, Anurag
    Abstract:
    Exception handling is a programming language feature that can help increase the reliability of programs. However, not much work has been done on exception handling in visual programming languages. We present an approach for improving the exception handling mechanism in Forms/3, a declarative visual programming language based on the spreadsheet...

  • Similarity inheritance : a model of inheritance for declarative visual programming languages

    Creator:
    Djang, Rebecca W. (Rebecca Walpole)
    Abstract:
    Declarative visual programming languages (VPLs), including spreadsheets, make up a large portion of both research and commercial VPLs. Spreadsheets in particular enjoy a wide audience, including end users. Unfortunately, spreadsheets and most other declarative VPLs still suffer from some of the problems that have been solved in other languages, such...
