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

An overview of a dynamic programming environment based on extensibility
TL;DR: An overview of Midgard, a program development environment, where part of the development of a program is carried out in the context of an execution of the program itself with low turn-around time, and a prototype implementation for the block structured object-oriented programming language BETA is presented.

A formalism for navigating and editing XML document structure
Frithjof Dau,Mark Sifer +1 more
TL;DR: This paper formalise and extend the design of a XML editor that uses a grammar tree view to explicitly guide user navigation and editing, Xeena for Schema, and identifies a key property that such an editor should have, stable reversable navigation.

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
Michael Ian Shamos,Dan Hoey +1 more
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.
