The Cornell Program Synthesizer demands a structural perspective at all stages of program development and its separate features are unified by a common foundation: a grammar for the programming language.
Abstract
Programs are not text; they are hierarchical compositions of computational structures and should be edited, executed, and debugged in an environment that consistently acknowledges and reinforces this viewpoint. The Cornell Program Synthesizer demands a structural perspective at all stages of program development. Its separate features are unified by a common foundation: a grammar for the programming language. Its full-screen derivation-tree editor and syntax-directed diagnostic interpreter combine to make the Synthesizer a powerful and responsive interactive programming tool.

As framework for processing and presenting parallel text corpora

TL;DR: The combination of a classical textual synopsis with the supplementary options of dictionaries, encyclopedias, multi-media extensions and powerful tools opens a wide area of applicability for the system ranging from text analysis and language learning to the creation of critical editions and electronic publishing.

Ce´page: toward computer-aided design of software

TL;DR: Cepage (pronounced say-paJi) is intended to make the full power of computer-aided design available to software developers in practical environments and frees its users from many of the chores traditionally associated with software design.

ACE: A Cliché-based Program Structure Editor

Yang Meng Tan
TL;DR: ACE extends the syntax-directed paradigm of program editing by adding sup- port for programming clichis, which is based on a modified grammar which is designed to facilitate editing.

Closest-point problems

TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to introduce a single geometric structure, called the Voronoi diagram, which can be constructed rapidly and contains all of the relevant proximity information in only linear space, and is used to obtain O(N log N) algorithms for most of the problems considered.

Geometric intersection problems

TL;DR: An O(N log N) algorithm is given to determine whether any two intersect and use it to detect whether two simple plane polygons intersect and to show that the Simplex method is not optimal.

An Optimal Worst Case Algorithm for Reporting Intersections of Rectangles

TL;DR: This paper investigates the problem of reporting all intersecting pairs in a set of n rectilinearly oriented rectangles in the plane and describes an algorithm that solves this problem in worst case time proportional to n lg n + k, where k is the number of interesecting pairs found.
