Lawrance, Joseph, Bellamy, Rachel, Burnett, Margaret and Rector, Kyle (2008): Using information scent to model the dynamic foraging behavior of programmers in maintenance tasks. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2008 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems April 5-10, 2008. pp. 1323-1332. Available online

“In recent years, the software engineering community has begun to study program navigation and tools to support it. Some of these navigation tools are very useful, but they lack a theoretical basis that could reduce the need for ad hoc tool building approaches by explaining what is fundamentally necessary in such tools. In this paper, we present PFIS (Programmer Flow by Information Scent), a model and algorithm of programmer navigation during software maintenance. We also describe an experimental study of expert programmers debugging real bugs described in real bug reports for a real Java application. We found that PFIS' performance was close to aggregated human decisions as to where to navigate, and was significantly better than individual programmers' decisions.”

Bayle, Elisabeth, Bellamy, Rachel, Casaday, George, Erickson, Thomas D., Fincher, Sally, Grinter, Beki, Gross, Ben, Lehder, Diane, Marmolin, Hans, Moore, Brian, Potts, Colin and Skousen, Grant (1998): Putting It All Together: Towards a Pattern Language for Interaction Design. In ACM SIGCHI Bulletin, 30 (1) pp. 17-23

“Pattern languages are representations that have been used in architecture and urban design for about twenty years. They focus on the interaction between physical form and social behavior, and express design solutions in an understandable and generalizable form. But pattern languages are not simply set of patterns intended to be universally applied; instead, they are actually meta-languages which, when used in a particular situations, generate situated design languages. This report describes a CHI 97 workshop which explored the utility of pattern languages for interaction design. We discuss the workshop's rationale, the structure and process of the workshop, and some of the workshop's results. In particular, we describe some patterns developed as part of the workshop, and our consequent reflections on the use of patterns and pattern languages as lingua franca for interaction design. This report concludes with a bibliography on pattern languages and related matters that spans architecture, software design, and organizational design.”
