TLDR
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.read more

Certificates for Incremental Type Checking
TL;DR: This thesis argues by two main instances that since type checkers are at the interface between proof theory and program theory, their study can let these two fields mutually enrich each other.
Tools for Exploration of Dynamic Models in Object-Oriented Design
TL;DR: It is argued that programs, formulated in an ordinary object-oriented programming language, cannot be used for design purposes, because programming languages are concerned with too many details, which are irrelevant forDesign purposes.
EDT - a syntax-based program editor reference manual
TL;DR: The editor described in this report is currently being used as an editor for programs written in Ada, by replacing the appropriate language definition files by those for another language.

Dynamically displaying a Pascal program in color
TL;DR: This paper describes a method of using color to display the actual structure of a Pascal program on a color monitor, which increases a programmer's understanding of the code, but also aids in detecting common structural errors.

Closest-point problems
Michael Ian Shamos,Dan Hoey +1 more
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.
