Measuring GitHub Copilot’s Impact on Productivity
WEBFeb 15, 2024 · The SPACE framework 6 defines 5 dimensions of productivity: S atisfaction and well-being, P erformance, A ctivity, C ommunication and collaboration, and E fficiency and flow. We use four of these (S,P,C,E) since self reporting on (A) is generally considered inferior to direct measurement.
Bringing Coding to Kindergarten – Communications of the ACM

The Future Is Big Graphs – Communications of the ACM
WEBSep 1, 2021 · Logic provides a yardstick for reasoning about graph queries and graph constraints. Indeed, a promising line of research is the application of formal tools, such as model checking, theorem proving, 15 and testing to establish the functional correctness of complex graph processing systems, in general, and of graph database systems, in particular. The influence of logic is pivotal not only to ...

Ability-Based Design – Communications of the ACM
WEBJun 1, 2018 · The adaptation fits and makes the user “seem normal” to the system. With ability-based design, this burden is reversed (see Figure 4c ); it is the user’s abilities that dictate what the system must do to make itself amenable to the user. For example, the system might adapt or be adapted to match the user’s abilities.
