Representing Code History with Development Environment Events

Modern development environments handle information about the intent of the programmer: for example, they use abstract syntax trees for providing high-level code manipulation such as refactorings; nevertheless, they do not keep track of this information in a way that would simplify code sharing and change understanding. In most Smalltalk systems, source code modifications are immediately registe...

Representing Kidney Development Using the Gene Ontology

Gene Ontology (GO) provides dynamic controlled vocabularies to aid in the description of the functional biological attributes and subcellular locations of gene products from all taxonomic groups (www.geneontology.org). Here we describe collaboration between the renal biomedical research community and the GO Consortium to improve the quality and quantity of GO terms describing renal development....

Representing programs in multiparadigm software development environments

In this paper, we describe a canonical program representation, Semantic Program Graphs (SPGs), and we show how SPGs can act as the foundation for multiparadigm software develop ment environments. Using SPGs as the basis for program representation allows developers to see different views of programs that correspond to different ways of thinking about them, and it allows editors to be created so ...

Academic Leadership Development: A Case Study.

A dean at a private school of nursing implemented a leadership development program for early- to mid-career nursing faculty consisting of one 4-hour evening session per academic quarter for 7 quarters. Eight faculty members who had expressed interest in assuming a leadership role or been recommended by their supervisors as having strong leadership potential were invited to join. Program topics ...
