  • end user software engineering chi 2010 special interest group meeting
    Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2010
    Co-Authors: Brad A. Myers, Margaret Burnett, Mary Beth Rosson, Christopher Scaffidi, Susan Wiedenbeck
    Abstract:

    End users create software whenever they create, for instance, interactive web pages, games, educational simulations, or spreadsheets. Researchers are working to bring the benefits of rigorous software engineering methodologies to these end users to try to make their software more reliable. Unfortunately, errors are pervasive in end-user software, and the resulting impact is sometimes enormous. This special interest group meeting will bring together the community of researchers who are addressing this topic with the companies that are creating and using end-user programming tools.

  • API usability: report on special interest group at CHI
    ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes, 2009
    Co-Authors: John M. Daughtry, Umer Farooq, Brad A. Myers, Jeffrey Stylos
    Abstract:

    The 27th annual International Conference on Human Factors in Computing (CHI) convened in Boston, MA (USA) from April 4-9, 2009. Included in this year's technical program was a special interest group (SIG) meeting on API usability. This report summarizes the SIG, emphasizing the primary takeaways, which include a greater understanding of the types of APIs, case studies, and a place to share our multi-disciplinary results.

  • api usability chi 2009 special interest group meeting
    Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2009
    Co-Authors: John M. Daughtry, Umer Farooq, Jeffrey Stylos, Brad A. Myers
    Abstract:

    Programmers of all types from novice end-user developers to professional software engineers make use of application programming interfaces (API) within their various designs. And, while the use of these interfaces is ubiquitous, there is little research about their design. Recently, a number of researchers and practitioners have begun to treat API design as a first-order object of study and practice. The purpose of this special interest group meeting is to bring together the community of usability researchers and professionals interested in API usability. The time will be used to discuss attendees' ideas and opinions in order to stimulate this new and exciting emerging field that crosses the boundaries between human-computer interaction and software engineering.

  • end user software engineering chi 2009 special interest group meeting
    Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2009
    Co-Authors: Brad A. Myers, Margaret Burnett, Susan Wiedenbeck, Mary Beth Rosson
    Abstract:

    End users create software whenever they write, for instance, educational simulations, spreadsheets, or dynamic e-business web applications. Researchers are working to bring the benefits of rigorous software engineering methodologies to these end users to try to make their software more reliable. Unfortunately, errors are pervasive in end-user software, and the resulting impact is sometimes enormous. This special interest group meeting will bring together the community of researchers who are addressing this topic with the companies that are creating and using end-user programming tools.

  • end user software engineering chi 2008 special interest group meeting
    Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2008
    Co-Authors: Brad A. Myers, Margaret Burnett, Mary Beth Rosson, Alan F Blackwell
    Abstract:

    End users create software whenever they write, for instance, educational simulations, spreadsheets, or dynamic e-business web applications. Researchers are working to bring the benefits of rigorous software engineering methodologies to these end users to try to make their software more reliable. Unfortunately, errors are pervasive in end-user software, and the resulting impact is sometimes enormous. This special interest group meeting has two purposes: to incorporate attendees' and feedback into an emerging survey of the state of this interesting new sub-area, and generally to bring together the community of researchers who are addressing this topic, with the companies that are creating end-user programming tools.

  • Travel Health Advisory group: a joint travel industry and travel health special interest group promoting healthy travel in Australia.
    Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2012
    Co-Authors: Peter A. Leggat, Nicholas Zwar, Bernie Hudson
    Abstract:

    The Travel Health Advisory group (THAG), established in 1997, is a joint initiative between the travel industry and travel health professionals in Australia that aims to promote healthy travel. THAG seeks to promote cooperation in improving the health of travellers between the travel industry and travel medicine professionals and to raise public awareness of the importance of travel health. From 2011, THAG has been a special interest group of The Australasian College of Tropical Medicine and its membership has been active in several areas, including web-based travel health information, travel health promotion, media releases, research and education in Australia. Information is given on the objectives, membership and an overview of the various activities of the group.

  • end user software engineering chi 2007 special interest group meeting
    Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2007
    Co-Authors: Brad A. Myers, Margaret Burnett, Susan Wiedenbeck
    Abstract:

    Recently, researchers have been working to bring the benefits of rigorous software engineering methodologies to end users who find themselves in programming situations, to try to make their software more reliable. End users create software whenever they write, for instance, educational simulations, spreadsheets, or dynamic e-business web applications. Unfortunately, errors are pervasive in end-user software, and the resulting impact is sometimes enormous. This special interest group meeting has three purposes: to bring the results of a recent (February 2007) week-long "Dagstuhl" meeting on end-user software engineering to interested researchers at CHI; to incorporate attendees' ideas and feedback into an emerging survey of the state of this interesting new subarea; and generally to bring together the community of researchers who are addressing this topic, with the companies that are creating end-user programming tools.
