Research
My research interests are centered around questions of
language design, which includes the design of new or improved features
for general-pupose language and the design of domain-specific languages.
In my work I often apply ideas from functional programming and visual
languages. Current research topics are:
- Language Design and Domain-Specific Languages
- Functional Programming
- Visual Languages, End-User Programming (in particular, Spreadsheets) and
End-User Software Engineering
An overview of my current and past research projects can be found here. I am a member of the EUSES Consortium, whose goal it is to
support end users with creating and maintaining their own software.
Activities
I am the general chair of VL/HCC 2009, which will take
place in September 2009 at Oregon State University in Corvallis. If you are
working in the area of language design, visual languages, or human-centric
computing, please consider submitting a paper.
I am also currently on the program committees of
the
IFIP Working Conference on Domain Specific Languages,
IFL 2008,
SEEUP 2009, and
GPCE 2009.
