Title: First steps towards Self-Adaptive IDEs Speaker:Roberto Minelli Thu, August 21, 11:30am – 12:00pm Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2Vmh1l5-WI Description Abstract: In this talk we present DFlow, an interaction profiler for the Pharo IDE. Our tool silently records how developers interact with UI elements of the IDE and how they manipulate source code. DFlow provides a catalogue of visualizations of the recorded development sessions. By means of the views we can tell development stories and characterize the behavior of developers. Our vision is to use interaction data on-the-fly to mold the shape of the IDE and improve the development experience. Bio: Roberto Minelli is a PhD student at the University of Lugano, Switzerland in the REVEAL research group, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Michele Lanza.

Provide developers with suggestions on how to

21. Adaptive user interfaces
Code browsers that automatically reshape
themselves to better support different activities,
such as source code navigation.

Visualizations that co-evolve with the evolution

Visualizations that depending on context, history,
and the type of session, reshape themselves
