Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Throughout the period in which PPIG has been active, small specialised groups have met annually with time for discussion. This has produced useful transfer of knowledge and technology between HCI/psychology and computer science. This year will be no exception. The annual workshops typically attract 40-50 attendees, who in recent years have come from Australia, Israel, Europe, and USA. This year's meeting will encourage consideration of issues related to psychology of programming including empirical studies of novice and expert programmers, teaching and learning programming, programming environments and support tools, programming paradigms, program and software comprehension, program visualisation, collaborative software development, graphical notations and environments. PPIG, by the eclectic nature of its membership, is well placed to help build bridges among these disciplines. Doctoral students are especially encouraged to submit papers on their ongoing research. In 2001, instead of a doctoral consortium, student papers were presented in the main session. This experiment was so successful, generating plenty of helpful discussion for each paper, that it will be included in the workshop programme for 2002 as well. One whole day of the workshop will be dedicated to student presentations followed by a discussion session moderated by an appointed senior PPIG member. This session will serve as a platform where students receive feedback on their presentation, discuss ongoing research, exchange ideas and gain advice from more experienced researchers in the field.
