A Survey on End-User Robot Programming

As robots interact with a broader range of end-users, end-user robot programming has helped democratize robot programming by empowering end-users who may not have experience in robot programming to customize robots to meet their individual contextual needs. This article surveys work on end-user robot programming, with a focus on end-user program specification. It describes the primary domains, programming phases, and design choices represented by the end-user robot programming literature. The survey concludes by highlighting open directions for further investigation to enhance and widen the reach of end-user robot programming systems.

Interview with Norman Meyrowitz

Norm Meyrowitz is currently an Adjunct Professor of the Practice of Computer Science at Brown University. He received an Sc.B. in Computer Science from Brown in 1981, and is recognized for his work on linking and multimedia technology for the Internet and for the evolution of Web development software. In the 1980s, Norm served as a Co-Director of Brown University's Institute for Research in Information and Scholarship, where he led the development of Intermedia, a hypermedia system that influenced both the creator of the Web and the creator of the Mosaic Web browser. In mid-1980s, he helped start two ACM conferences - OOPSLA (Object-Oriented Programming, Systems, and Languages) and Hypertext '87, which continue to this day. Following his work in academia, Norm worked for several years as the Director of System/User Software for pen/tablet pioneer GO Corporation before transitioning to his role as President of Product Development at Macromedia (later acquired by Adobe). At Macromedia, Norm oversaw a variety of Web development and multimedia products at Macromedia, including Shockwave, Dreamweaver, Flash, the latter of which had more than 4 billion downloads in its heyday in the 1990s and early 2000s.

METHODS FOR FORMING PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCIES IN FUTURE PROGRAMMERS

The presented article is devoted to the formation of professional competencies in future programmers. The relevance of the research is based on the fact that information technologies are used in all spheres of life of modern society, therefore, specialists who can develop and code algorithms for working with information are in great demand. Algorithms form the basis of any information protection process, labor efficiency calculations, therefore it becomes important to form competencies in future IT specialists related to the ability to program using various programming languages and methods, using the main types and data structures from the everyday practice of programmers. As indicators of the effectiveness of methods for the formation of professional competencies, there are competencies: knowledge of modern trends in the development of tools and software; the presence of theoretical knowledge and practical skills that allow you to build an algorithm, analyze its work with different input data and implement it using modern programming languages; the ability to use high-level PL and professional programming systems, tools for solving professional-applied problems in the information sphere of the enterprise. The article deals with traditional and developed by the author methods of teaching programming

LINEAR SEARCH ALGORITHM TO BE SOLVED BY PARAMETER LOOP

There are common occasions for finding out required optional data or element from the given algebra of sets and any kind of systems when we are solving practical and informatics tasks. In order to solve these types of tasks or issues, students or researchers have to know about the methodologies for basic understanding which are called tasks for searching. This process is very important as for finding out basic understanding and methodologies, having detailed knowledge of algorithms and searching methods, although there are modern specific technologies and automatic programming systems. When searching methods are programmedfor informatics tasks, necessary abilities such as seeking essential or import of program language operators and making analysis indifference among characterful solving should be owned by students or specialists. Therefore,I set my purpose of thesis of organizing linear searching algorithms by the parameter loop of the programming language C during the discovering process of identifying differences, patterns, and internal core of linear searching methodologies.

Парадигма Программированияon Systematization of Programming Paradigms by Decision-Making Priorities

The report is devoted to the analysis of the method of comparison of programming languages, convenient for assessing the expressive power of languages and the complexity of the programming systems. The method is adapted to substantiate practical, objective criteria of program decomposition, which can be considered as an approach to solving the problem of factorization of very complicated definitions of programming languages and their support systems. The article presents the results of the analysis of the most well-known programming paradigms and outlines an approach to navigation in the modern expanding space of programming languages, based on the classification of paradigms on the peculiarities of problem statements and semantic characteristics of programming languages and systems with an emphasis on the criteria for the quality of programs and priorities in decision-making in their implementation.
