  • Visualization in environmental science

    Creator:
    Winters, Kirsten M.
    Abstract:
    The VISualization of Terrestrial and Aquatic Systems (VISTAS) software development project began with the proposition that visualization would increase the ability of scientists to explore and communicate their data, especially complex datasets that span multiple spatial and temporal scales. A case study of VISTAS articulates how and why scientists intend...

  • Adapting computer science technologies to bridge critical gaps in proposed Tox21 risk assessment programs

    Creator:
    Larkin, Andrew
    Abstract:
    In 2004 the National Toxicology Program published an article describing their intent to pursue toxicology testing and risk assessment practices solely reliant on high throughput in vitro datasets and in silico modeling for dose-response assessments. Support and contributions form regulatory agencies and a significant portion of the life sciences community...

  • Automatic program generation for scientific computing

    Creator:
    Fu, Zhe
    Abstract:
    The code reuse problem is a common software engineering problem in scientific computing. As a prevailing programming language in many scientific fields, Fortran does not provide support to address this problem. One particular reason is that Fortran lacks the support for generic programming. By applying program-generation techniques, we developed two...

  • Electra : integrating constraints, condition-based dispatching, and features exclusion into the multiparadigm language Leda

    Creator:
    Zamel, Nabil M.
    Abstract:
    Multiparadigm languages are languages that are designed to support more than one style of programming. Leda is a strongly-typed multiparadigm programming language that supports imperative, functional, object-oriented, and logic programming. The constraint programming paradigm is a declarative style of programming where the programmer is able to state relationships among some...

  • An investigation of the relationship between cognitive style and the diagnostic skills of novice COBOL student programmers

    Creator:
    Cavaiani, Thomas P.
    Abstract:
    For the past thirty years the majority of the research on the cognitive demands of learning computer programming has assumed that successful computer programmers display certain aptitudes. Some researchers indicate that studies linking different prerequisite profiles of abilities to different programming outcomes are needed. Such research might dispel many of...

  • LacEDAemon : a programming environment for the multiparadigm language leda

    Creator:
    Pandey, Rajeev K.
    Abstract:
    Multiparadigm programming languages are a recent development in the realm of programming languages. A multiparadigm programming language allows the use of multiple, differing programming paradigms without departing from a single, unified linguistic framework. Multiparadigm programming languages are claimed to have benefits to both pedagogy and complex application creation. The beneficial...

  • DataLab, a graphical system for specifying and synthesizing abstract data types

    Creator:
    Al-Mulhem, Muhammed Saleh
    Abstract:
    Formal methods using text to specify abstract data types (ADTs) are powerful, but they require great effort and a high level of expertise. Visual programming languages present an alternative way of programming but are limited to building small programs. This research presents an approach for specifying ADTs using a combination...

  • Understanding and supporting end-user debugging strategies

    Creator:
    Grigoreanu, Valentina I.
    Abstract:
    End users' programs are fraught with errors, costing companies millions of dollars. One reason may be that researchers and tool designers have not yet focused on end-user debugging strategies. To investigate this possibility, this dissertation presents eight empirical studies and a new strategy-based end-user debugging tool for Excel, called StratCel....

  • Strategies utilized in computer problem solving and object-oriented programming

    Creator:
    Zaman, Naeem
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe how novice students solved computer programming problems in a beginning college level computer science (CS) course with an introduction to object-oriented programming (OOP) and what knowledge they obtained about OOP and computer problem solving (CPS) as a result of their experiences....
