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.

Interaction vs. Abstraction: Managed Copy and Paste

TL;DR: Managed copy and paste as mentioned in this paper is a technique that allows programmers to track the differences between copies of a program and reconcile them on command, similar to version control as in git.

The kernel of Modula-2 integrated environment

TL;DR: This paper describes the design of a Modula-2 integrated environment and its kernel environment which is implemented on IBM/PC-AT in Modular-2 language itself and it is hoped that the whole Modulas 2 integrated environment can be implemented based on the kernel environment and the environment information data base.

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.
