  • Supporting merge comprehension when resolving merge conflicts

    Creator:
    Nelson, Nicholas
    Abstract:
    Distributed version control allows developers to manage software evolution among distributed development teams. But it does not eliminate all consistency and concurrency issues, and instead introduces additional complexity when merging code. And resolving merge conflicts is nontrivial when automated merging fails. In such cases, developers are forced to inspect the...

  • SocioEconomicMag Meets a Platform for SES-Diverse College Students: A Case Study

    Creator:
    Agarwal, Puja
    Abstract:
    Emerging research shows that individual differences in how people use technology sometimes cluster by socioeconomic status (SES) and that when technology is not socioeconomically inclusive, low-SES individuals may abandon it. To understand how to improve technology’s SES-inclusivity, we present a multi-phase case study on SocioEconomicMag (SESMag), an emerging inspection method...

  • Designing Diversity and Inclusion Processes and Tools for Sustainable Open Source

    Creator:
    Guizani, Mariam
    Abstract:
    Over time, Open Source Software (OSS) has become indispensable in the creation and upkeep of software products, serving as the fundamental building block for widely used solutions in our daily lives, including applications that enable communication, entertainment, and productivity. A sustainable OSS ecosystem is one that attracts and retains a...

  • Elucidating Computational Narratives to Facilitate Code Comprehension

    Creator:
    Chattopadhyay, Souti
    Abstract:
    Programming is integrated across the workflow of multiple domains where end-user programmers, those who need to program as a means to an end, regularly need to code. In the modern setting of collaborative development, end-user programmers have to interpret the intentions behind existing code to contribute and build solutions to...

  • Guided Translation of Algorithmic Notation into Functional Programs

    Creator:
    Fedorin, Danila
    Abstract:
    The use of board games for teaching introductory computer science is a promising recent avenue of research. The goal is to introduce computing concepts through their use in the implementations of simple games, thereby keeping students engaged through their learning process. However, there is a gap between students' algorithmic descriptions...

  • On Avoiding Power-Seeking by Artificial Intelligence

    Creator:
    Turner, Alexander M.
    Abstract:
    We do not know how to align a very intelligent AI agent's behavior with human interests. I investigate whether—absent a full solution to this AI alignment problem—we can build smart {\ai} agents which have limited impact on the world, and which do not autonomously seek power. In this thesis, I...

  • Delay-Aware Resource Management Frameworks for Intelligent Vehicular Networks

    Creator:
    Almasari, Shahad A.
    Abstract:
    Autonomous vehicles bring great societal benefits but also potential impact and disruption to road safety, traffic congestion, and driving behaviors. One important technology that is indispensable to the success of such systems is vehicular networks. Vehicular networks provide the backbone for ensuring communication and connectivity among vehicles, all crucial to...

  • Learning and Improving Policies for Probabilistic Planning Problems

    Creator:
    Issakkimuthu, Murugeswari
    Abstract:
    In this work, we study the problem of learning and improving policies for probabilistic planning problems. In the first part, we train neural network policies for probabilistic planning problems modeled as factored Markov decision problems. The objective is to train problem-specific neural networks via supervised learning to imitate the action...
