Interdisciplinary Programming Language Design

چکیده
Traditional programming language design approaches center around theoretical and performance-oriented evaluation. Recently, researchers have been considering more approaches to language design, including the use of quantitative and qualitative user studies to evaluate how different designs affect users. In this paper, we argue for an interdisciplinary approach that incorporates many different methods in the creation and design of programming languages. We show how the addition of user-oriented design techniques can be helpful at many different stages in the programming language design process.

Designing Interdisciplinary Approaches to Problem Solving into Computer Languages
Many interdisciplinary design efforts require the involvement of computer scientists because of the complexity of the problem solving tools available for the projects. This paper demonstrates how appropriate language design can place high level languages in the hands of scientists and engineers, thus providing a more automated approach to problem solving that may reduce the amount of computer s...
متن کاملLearning from an Extended Context of Patterns in Science of Design
In this position paper, we present an interdisciplinary approach to patterns and pattern languages in HCI-design. Our work is grounded on a theoretical framework, tailored for use in early design stages. It incorporates ideas from pattern methodology, Gestalt theory and visual language. As an ideal final result in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI), our work intends to establish intu...
متن کاملReflexive practice in interdisciplinary design of pervasive health applications in dementia care
Interdisciplinary design is essential to create new pervasive health applications, in our case those for dementia care, and to innovate our healthcare systems to meet the challenges of ongoing demographic changes. While interdisciplinary design is gaining attention in HCI literature and challenges of managing and executing interdisciplinary design projects are brought to the fore, few guideline...
متن کاملTool-support for Interdisciplinary and Collaborative User Interface Specification
When the user interface (UI) has to be specified, a picture is worth a thousand words, and the worst thing one can do is attempt to write a natural language specification for it. Nevertheless, this practice is still common, and it is therefore a difficult task to move from text-based requirements and problem-space concepts to a final UI design, and then back again. Especially for the specificat...
متن کاملInteraction and Presentation Laboratory, IPLab
IPLab (The Interaction and Presentation Laboratory) conducts interdisciplinary research in human-computer interaction since 1985. At present, the group consists of about 30 people, 20 of whom are graduate students. IPLab is responsible for Nada’s education in human-computer interaction at both undergraduate and graduate levels. The funding for IPLab’s research during 1998-1999 has come from SSF...
