  • Scratch Explorer : a tool for assisting end-user program comprehension of animation scripts

    Creator:
    Zhang, Yan
    Abstract:
    Visual programming languages (VPLs) have been widely used to support end-user programming. However, end users are still not able to reuse code as actively as professional programmers, even when given abundant resources such as a large VPL program repository. One reason may be that current VPL development environments lack features...

  • Towards helping end-user programmers’ information foraging by manipulating information features in a patch

    Creator:
    Athreya, Balaji
    Abstract:
    Software maintenance tasks often require finding information within existing code, which is time-consuming and difficult even for professional programmers. For example, programmers may need to know what code implements certain functionality or what is the purpose of certain code. In response, researchers have developed tools to help programmers find information...

  • Dimension checking tools for spreadsheets

    Creator:
    Chambers, Chris (Christopher Willie)
    Abstract:
    We present the evolution of a reasoning system for inferring dimension information in spreadsheets. The three papers included in this thesis show how the initial system can be used to check the consistency of spreadsheet formulas and thus is able to detect errors in spreadsheets, and the evolution to a...

  • Enabling Virtual Globes for A Visual-Auditory User Experience of Spatial Data

    Creator:
    Gune, Aditya N.
    Abstract:
    Geographical datasets are large, complex, and can be difficult for users to navigate and derive meaning from. These datasets, as well as the unique insights derived from them, provide tremendous opportunity for social change -- many of the global challenges humankind is currently facing can benefit from analytics or visualization...

  • Leyline : a provenance-based desktop search system using graphical sketchpad user interface

    Creator:
    Ghorashi, Seyed Soroush
    Abstract:
    While there are powerful keyword search systems that index all kinds of resources including emails and web pages, people have trouble recalling semantic facts such as the name, location, edit dates and keywords that uniquely identifies resources in their personal repositories. Reusing information exasperates this problem. A rarely used approach...

  • Formative Work Toward a Mixed-Initiative Programming Language

    Creator:
    Abbott, Keeley
    Abstract:
    Mixed-initiative programming entails collaboration between a computer system, and a human to achieve some desired goal or set of goals. Often these goals change or are amended in real time during the course of program execution. As such, the plans these programs are based on must adapt and evolve to...

  • Computing Resource Usage as a Factor of Student Success

    Creator:
    Moissinac, Béatrice
    Abstract:
    Learning Analytics and other branches of Educational Research such as Computing Education Research (CER) implicitly assume that students, especially college students, have no barriers to access learning platforms or software packages. This assumption may be attributed to such pervasive beliefs such as "everyone has a device", or "everyone can access...

  • An Analysis of the Effectiveness of an Online Inclusive Design Curriculum Through the Lens of Inclusive Design PCKs

    Creator:
    Vellanki, Aishwarya
    Abstract:
    The online computer science classroom is growing, but there is little research on how to teach inclusive design online. As a result, online CS students are graduating without learning how to avoid bias in their software designs. Through the lens of the Inclusive Design Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), this thesis...

    Abstract:
    With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in every sphere of life in today's day and age, it has become increasingly important for non-AI experts to be able to comprehend the underlying logic of how AI systems work, assess them and find faults in these systems, particularly when they are...

  • Interactive visualization of diversity in multivariate data sets unified across fields of study

    Creator:
    Pham, Tuan N. T.
    Abstract:
    The study of the diversity of multivariate objects shares common characteristics across disciplines, including ecology and organizational management. Nevertheless, experts in these two disciplines have adopted somewhat separate diversity concepts and analysis techniques, limiting the ability of potentially sharing and cross comparing these concerns. Moreover, while complex diversity data may...
