  • Navigation in Mobile Virtual Environments: The future of mobile devices is aLIVE!

    Creator:
    Carr, Justin
    Abstract:
    The dream of ubiquitous virtual reality (VR) tools has been a powerful presence in pop culture since before the turn of the century. But for all of its charm, VR applications are few and far between due to the high cost of hardware setups and cumbersome form factor. This project...

  • Automation of Blanket Credit Registration

    Creator:
    Somashekar, Shwetha
    Abstract:
    Almost every student in the School of EECS undergoes the process of Blanket Credit Registration wherein the student has to fill out the form for registration, meet the concerned professor and obtain his approval. The staff of the department has to maintain the details of the student and the Professor...

  • 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 intelligent API tutors with information about how APIs are used in practice

    Creator:
    Krishnamoorthy, Vasanth
    Abstract:
    Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) enable software developers to utilize and create functionality that would otherwise take a lot of time and effort to build from scratch. Consequently, an essential part of software engineering training is for students to learn how to use APIs effectively. The existing jTutors system enables an...

  • 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...

  • Enhancing Search-Based Techniques with Information Control Dependencies

    Creator:
    Aburas, Ali
    Abstract:
    Software testing is a very important task during software development and it can be used to improve the quality and reliability of the software system. One potential way to reduce the cost and increase the efficiency of software testing is to generate test data automatically. Search-based approaches successfully generate unit...

  • Generalizing the Idea Garden : Principles and Contexts

    Creator:
    Jernigan, William
    Abstract:
    In previous work, the Idea Garden was created to help those relatively new to programming overcome their barriers in CoScripter. The goal of this thesis was to generalize the Idea Garden's success to other users and environments. We present a set of principles on how to help EUPs like this...

  • Helping end-user programmers find and fix performance problems in visual code

    Creator:
    Chambers, Chris
    Abstract:
    End-user programmers often struggle to create programs that run quickly and effectively, which can be a major deterrent in completing their tasks as desired. Current research has primarily focused on catching user mistakes, such as errors or misused formulas. However, end users deal with issues other than just correctness. In...

  • Studying electricity feedback for the home with an emphasis on the user

    Creator:
    Hunter, Josie Elizabeth
    Abstract:
    As non-renewable resources dwindle and costs increase, it becomes ever more important for people to understand and control their electricity usage. Eco-feedback devices are being developed to increase user awareness and reduce consumption. In order for feedback devices to be successfully adopted into the home, however, they must be appealing...

  • Helping end-user programmers help themselves : the idea garden approach

    Creator:
    Cao, Chen
    Abstract:
    End-user programmers face many barriers in programming. Research has seen many programming environments that attempted to lower or remove the barriers but despite these efforts, empirical studies continue to report barriers users face. To investigate this issue, we took a theory-informed approach. Using theories from design, creativity, and problem solving...
