Modelling is central to many disciplines in engineering and the natural and social sciences.
A wide variety of modelling languages and tools have been proposed along the years …

Scaffolded learning tasks where programs are constructed from predefined code fragments
by dragging and drop** them (ie Parsons problems) are well suited to mobile touch …

Live programming aims to create a more fluid feedback loop between the programmer and
programmed. Unfortunately, it is not very clear what this feedback does and how it is useful …

We present a novel approach to combined textual and visual programming by allowing
visual, interactive objects to be embedded within textual source code and segments of …

Mobile devices have been making their way into our everyday life for quite some time, and
especially the market for tablets is increasing. They are used at home for entertainment …

We present the design and the evaluation of a soft keyboard aimed at facilitating the input of
programming code on mobile devices equipped with touch screens, such as tablets and …

Multi-touch mobile devices provide a fresh paradigm for interactions, as well as a platform
for building rich musical applications. This paper presents a multi-touch mobile …

Most software systems are developed by teams of people. The tools used to develop and
maintain these systems are primarily designed from a single-user perspective and are …

The design of object-oriented systems starts with modeling, a process to identify core
concepts and their relations. Mainstream modeling techniques can be either informal (white …

Understanding a problem domain is a fundamental prerequisite for good software design. In
object-oriented systems design, modeling is the fundamental first phase that focuses on …
