Creator:: Carlson, Paul M.
Abstract:: How might capabilities for algorithm animation be seamlessly integrated into a programming language that is both visual and declarative? Until now, visual programming language researchers have not attempted to answer that question, making the fruits of algorithm animation available only to users of textual programming languages. Users of visual programming...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Creator:: Muenchaisri, Pornsiri
Abstract:: I introduce a compositional approach to application software development. In this approach, an extended entity-relationship diagram (EERD), which represents the component types and the relationship types within an application domain, is used as a template of executable programs in that application domain. As we use structural active objects as the...

Abstract:: How might capabilities for algorithm animation be seamlessly integrated into a programming language that is both visual and declarative? Until now, visual programming language researchers have not attempted to answer that question, making the fruits of algorithm animation available only to users of textual progranming languages. Users of visual programming...

Creator:: Atwood, John Wesley, Jr., Burnett, Margaret, 1949-, Walpole, Rebecca A., Wilcox, E. M., Yang, Sherry, and Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science
Abstract:: Despite years of research into human computer interaction (HCI), the environments programmers must use for problem-solving today—with separate modes and tools for writing, compiling, testing, visualizing, and debugging— derive their basic structure from historical accident, and take little advantage of HCI research into the cognitive issues of programming. Neglecting these...

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Ruthruff, Joseph Ronald, Prabhakararao, Shrinu, Reichwein, James, Cook, Curtis R., Creswick, Eugene Rogan, and Burnett, Margaret, 1949-
Abstract:: End-user programmers are writing an unprecedented number of programs, primarily using languages and environments that incorporate a number of interactive and visual programming techniques. To help these users debug these programs, we have developed an entirely visual, interactive approach to fault localization. This paper presents the approach. We also present...

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Cook, Curtis R., Stevenson, Brent, Schonfeld, Justin, Rothermel, Karen J., and Burnett, Margaret, 1949-
Abstract:: This paper reports on an empirical study involving end users that addresses the question of whether it is possible to provide the benefits of formal testing within the informal spreadsheet paradigm. We have developed a "What You See Is What You Test" (WYSIWYT) methodology that brings the benefits of formal...
Resource Type:: Research Paper

Creator:: Terra, Sílvio César Lizana
Abstract:: This thesis presents a novel technique for retiming keyframe-based animation. We call our approach Performance Timing. Keyframing is a standard technique for generating computer animation that typically requires artistic ability and a set of skills for the software package being used. From our experience observing novice animators and their work,...

Creator:: Neumann, Christoph
Abstract:: This thesis presents a domain specific visual language designed to allow coaches to create content that exhibits the complex 2D interactions observed in the game of American football. Coaches can visually program the content by using symbols and drawing primitives similar to those that they currently use to design static...
