  • Supporting end-user debugging

    Creator:
    Kissinger, Cory
    Abstract:
    Although researchers have begun to explicitly support end-user programmers’ debugging by providing information to help them find bugs, there is little research addressing the right content to communicate to these users. The specific semantic content of these debugging communications matters because, if the users are not actually seeking the information...

  • Gender HCI issues in end-user programming

    Creator:
    Beckwith, Laura A.
    Abstract:
    Until recently, research has not considered whether the design of end-user programming environments, such as spreadsheets, multimedia authoring languages, and CAD systems, affects males and females differently. As a result, we began investigating how the two genders are impacted by end-user programming software and whether attention to gender differences is...

  • Explaining debugging strategies to end-user programmers

    Creator:
    Subrahmaniyan, Neeraja
    Abstract:
    There has been little research into how end-user programming environments can provide explanations that could fill a critical information gap for end-user debuggers – help with debugging strategy. To address this need, we designed and prototyped a video-based approach for explaining debugging strategy, and accompanied it with a text-only approach....

  • Enhancing Instructors’ Teaching Experience through Virtualization

    Creator:
    Patil, Ajinkya
    Abstract:
    In the current education environment, many instructors make use of some type of software, such as Visual Studio or a software library like OpenGL, in the classroom. Incorrect setup and configuration on an individual’s own system is a common problem when using these software tools. This thesis explores the difficulty...

  • Gender differences in robot teleoperation

    Creator:
    Showkat, Dilruba
    Abstract:
    Gender issues have recently received increased attention in human robot interaction (HRI). Because robots are becoming part of our homes and daily lives, it is important to understand how different groups of people use them. To the best of our knowledge, almost no research has been done that investigates gender...

  • The sum of its parts : investigating the component pieces of GenderMag

    Creator:
    Hill, Charles
    Abstract:
    Previous work introduced the GenderMag method, a software inspection method used to help software creators identify features within their software that are not gender-inclusive. Inclusiveness of software (gender or otherwise) matters because supporting diversity matters—it is well-known that the more diverse a group of problem-solvers, the higher the quality of...

  • Practices for Engineering Gender-Inclusivity into Software

    Creator:
    Hilderbrand, Claudia
    Abstract:
    Although the need for gender-inclusivity in software itself is gaining attention among both SE researchers and SE practitioners, and methods have been published to help, little has been reported on how to make such methods work in real-world settings. For example, how do busy software practitioners use such methods in...

  • 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...

  • 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...
