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

Re-structuring the programmer's task
TL;DR: This paper analyses the Smalltalk/V environment with respect to these programming tasks and develops a redesign in which code components can be borrowed and manipulated under the task-oriented rubric of projects.

The VORTEX document preparation environment
TL;DR: The approach is to derive an internal representation based on which transformations between source and target can be realized efficiently and the basic functionalities and user interface are presented.
A systematic approach to advanced debugging through incremental compilation (Preliminary Draft)
TL;DR: This paper presents two topics: implementation of a debugger through use of an incremental compiler, and techniques for fine-grained incremental compilation.

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.

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.
