End-user programmers’ code (e.g., accountants’ spreadsheet formulas) is fraught with errors. To help mitigate this problem, end-user software engineering research is becoming established. However, most of this work has focused on feature usage, rather than debugging strategies. If a debugging tool were to support end-user programmers’ specific debugging strategy needs,...

PROPX is a FORTRAN computer program that predicts horizontal axis wind tur
New Zealand has recently implemented major changes to its Fisheries management regimes including strengthening the quota based property right, devolving the delivery of quota registry services to the industry and developing new computer systems to support industry and government requirements. The success of these changes is due to a number...
A bad software development process leads to wasted effort and inferior products. In order to improve a software process, it is important to first understand it. Our unique approach in this paper is to use code and test changes to understand conformance to a process. We analyze the meaning of...
Complex games such as RTS games are naturally formalized
as Markov games. Given a Markov game, it is often possible
to hand-code or learn a set of policies that capture the
diversity of possible strategies. It is also often possible to
hand-code or learn an abstract simulator of the game...
