  • Reasons Behind the Low Enrollment of Women in Computer Science

    Creator:
    Schneider, Ashley R.
    Abstract:
    Over the past few decades, the ratio of women to men in many traditionally maledominated fields has become much more equal. However, in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields the ratio has not improved at the same rate. In computer science the ratio is still very uneven. Today women...

  • PC++ : an extension of C++ for parallel programming

    Creator:
    Bae, Myungmun
    Abstract:
    Understanding of techniques that can be used to develop software for various parallel machines has not fully matched the dramatic progress in hardware in recent years. Most parallel programming techniques have been closely tied to specific hardware. Different machines have different primitives and architectures. Programming and porting an application with...

  • 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...

  • Using signaling to aid computer program comprehension

    Creator:
    Gellenbeck, Edward M.
    Abstract:
    Guidelines for using style to improve computer program comprehension have often been proposed without empirical testing. This thesis reports on the results of three controlled experiments that investigated ways program style may be used to aid comprehension of source code listings. Experiments 1 and 2 were conducted using advanced computer...

  • A taxonomic analysis of typographic programming style

    Creator:
    Oman, Paul W.
    Abstract:
    Program comprehension is important in program testing, debugging, and maintenance. Programming style impacts program understanding. However, there has not been any systematic identification of individual style factors and their contribution to program comprehension. In this thesis we present a programming style taxonomy composed of three classes: typographic (program layout and...

  • Pattern systems and methodologies for multiparadigm analysis and design

    Creator:
    Knutson, Charles D.
    Abstract:
    In this research, we have captured, in pattern form, key elements of programming and design in four programming paradigms (imperative, object-oriented, functional and logical) as well as multiparadigm programming. These pattern sets have formed a foundation upon which we were able to build a deeper understanding of multiparadigm programming and...

  • An experimental investigation of the cloze procedure as a measure of program understanding

    Creator:
    Ullrich, James R.
    Abstract:
    Previous research in program understanding has been hampered by the lack of an easy tool to measure the degree of that understanding. The cloze procedure, suggested by Cook, Bregar, and Foote (1984) was an attempt to find a simple, reliable, and valid measure of program understanding. In this procedure, tokens...

  • G, a language based on demand-driven stream evaluations

    Creator:
    Placer, John R.
    Abstract:
    A programming paradigm can be defined as a model or an approach employed in solving a problem. The results of the research described in this document demonstrate that it is possible to unite several different programming paradigms into a single linguistic framework. The imperative, procedural, applicative, lambda-free, relational, logic and...

  • A compiler-compiler for the CDC 3300

    Creator:
    Rucker, Jimmy Ivan
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes a syntax-directed compiler-compiler called COMCOM which has been implemented by the author on the CDC 3300 under the OS-3 operating system. The theory and terminology of the parsing method and compiler-compilers in general are briefly discussed. COMCOM uses Floyd's operator precedence bottom-up parsing technique which avoids backup...
