Summary on Grant Application Form |

The Psychology of Programming Interest Group annual workshops bring together researchers from both industry and academia and the HCI and computer science communties. The annual workshops (started in 1989), which always attract a high percentage of attendees from outside the United Kingdom, consist of keynote addresses by eminent practitioners in relevant fields, discussion panels, software demonstrations and seminar-like presentations. The style is deliberately complementary to the more formal style of many workshops and conferences. Our approach is low-key, with a strong emphasis on getting interested parties into the same place for discussion. We therefore welcome papers that are prospective just as warmly as papers present completed research, and we schedule cheap but lively social events (e.g. a pub quiz based on our research) that will help to create links between groups and individuals. The annual workshops' distinctiveness remain in: accommodating papers and discussions in a wide variety of topics; maintaining a high speed reviewing process (e.g. this year's paper submission is in February 2001 and the notification of acceptance is in March); and fostering a creative and relaxed environment. This year's workshop is hosted by the Empirical Software Engineering Research Group at Bournemouth University which directly contributes to the objective of transferring knowledge between the HCI/psychology and computer science communities. The funding will be used to cover the expenses of 2 invited speakers and subsidise students' attendance.
