  • Towards architecture-adaptable parallel programming

    Creator:
    Kumaran, Santhosh
    Abstract:
    There is a software gap in parallel processing. The short lifespan and small installation base of parallel architectures have made it economically infeasible to develop platform-specific parallel programming environments that deliver performance and programmability. One obvious solution is to build architecture-independent programming environments. But the architecture independence usually comes at...

  • An investigation of the on-line debugging process of expert and novice student programmers

    Creator:
    Nanja, Murthi
    Abstract:
    Debugging, the process of locating and correcting errors in a computer program, is a common programming task that is not well understood. Of the several debugging studies reported in the literature, most compared the performance differences between expert and novice programmers by measuring their debug time and the number of...

  • View based, global design of access structures for relational databases

    Creator:
    Gündem, Taflan İmre
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation we consider the problem of automating the design of access structures for relational database systems. The main considerations are effective and rigorous utilization of the users' usage patterns, global treatment of the whole design and utilizing most of the commonly known access structures. We represent the usage...

  • A rule based approach to program development

    Creator:
    Birjandi, Abbas
    Abstract:
    A rule based transformational model for program development and a metatool based on the above model is presented. The meta-tool can be instantiated to create various program development tools such as tools for building reusable software components, language directed editors, language to language translators, program instrumentation, structured document generator, and...

  • 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...

  • Variational Typing and Its Applications

    Creator:
    Chen, Sheng
    Abstract:
    The study of variational typing originated from the problem of type inference for variational programs, which encode numerous different but related plain programs. In this dissertation, I present a sound and complete type inference algorithm for inferring types of all plain programs encoded in variational programs. The proposed algorithm runs...

  • A browser-based tool for designing query interfaces to scientific databases

    Creator:
    Newsome, Mark Ronald, 1960-
    Abstract:
    Scientists in the biological sciences need to retrieve information from a variety of data collections, traditionally maintained in SQL databases, in order to conduct research. Because current assistant tools are designed primarily for business and financial users, scientists have been forced to use the notoriously difficult command-line SQL interface, supplied...

  • Generalizing abstractions in form-based visual programming languages : from direct manipulation to static representation

    Creator:
    Yang, Sherry
    Abstract:
    We believe concreteness, direct manipulation and responsiveness in a visual programming language increase its usefulness. However, these characteristics present a challenge in generalizing programs for reuse, especially when concrete examples are used as one way of achieving concreteness. In this thesis, we present a technique to solve this problem by...

  • Machine learning for improving the quality of citizen science data

    Creator:
    Yu, Jun
    Abstract:
    Citizen Science is a paradigm in which volunteers from the general public participate in scientific studies, often by performing data collection. This paradigm is especially useful if the scope of the study is too broad to be performed by a limited number of trained scientists. Although citizen scientists can contribute...
