Heuristic Evaluation of Programming Language Features

چکیده
Usability is an important feature for programming languages. However, user studies which compare programming languages or systems are both very expensive and typically inconclusive. In this paper, we posit that discount usability methods can be successfully applied to programming languages concepts such as language features. We give examples of useful feedback received from applying heuristic evaluation to a selection of language features targeted at parallel programming. Author

A Heuristic Algorithm for Nonlinear Lexicography Goal Programming with an Efficient Initial Solution
In this paper, a heuristic algorithm is proposed in order to solve a nonlinear lexicography goal programming (NLGP) by using an efficient initial point. Some numerical experiments showed that the search quality by the proposed heuristic in a multiple objectives problem depends on the initial point features, so in the proposed approach the initial point is retrieved by Data Envelopment Analysis...
متن کاملExtracting Dynamics Matrix of Alignment Process for a Gimbaled Inertial Navigation System Using Heuristic Dynamic Programming Method
In this paper, with the aim of estimating internal dynamics matrix of a gimbaled Inertial Navigation system (as a discrete Linear system), the discretetime Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation for optimal control has been extracted. Heuristic Dynamic Programming algorithm (HDP) for solving equation has been presented and then a neural network approximation for cost function and control input ...
متن کاملHeuristic approach to solve hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with unrelated parallel machines
In hybrid flow shop scheduling problem (HFS) with unrelated parallel machines, a set of n jobs are processed on k machines. A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model for the HFS scheduling problems with unrelated parallel machines has been proposed to minimize the maximum completion time (makespan). Since the problem is shown to be NP-complete, it is necessary to use heuristic methods to ...
متن کاملDomain-Specific Heuristics in Answer Set Programming
We introduce a general declarative framework for incorporating domain-specific heuristics into ASP solving. We accomplish this by extending the first-order modeling language of ASP by a distinguished heuristic predicate. The resulting heuristic information is processed as an equitable part of the logic program and subsequently exploited by the solver when it comes to non-deterministically assig...
متن کاملClockWorks: Visual Programming of Component-Based Software Architectures
ClockWorks is a programming environment supporting the visual programming of object-oriented software architectures. In developing ClockWorks, we used user interface evaluation techniques, including heuristic evaluation, cognitive walkthrough and user evaluation. The development of ClockWorks was based on a task analysis of ClockWorks programmers. This task analysis revealed that programmers wo...
