Part 1 Papers: techniques for exploring programme comprehension; evaluating the effect of inheritance on the maintainability of object-oriented software; display-based problem solving strategies in computer programming; the "right" tool for the task - an investigation of external representations, programme abstractions and task requirements; prototyping tools for expert and novice application development; when, why and how do novice programmers reuse code?; evaluating programme representation in a demonstrational visual shell; an empirical evaluation of TED, a techniques editor for Prolog programming; system structure and design; learning about the algebraic specification of abstract data types; the pitfalls of changing programming paradigms; adaptation of programming plans in transfer between programming languages - a developmental approach. Part 2 Panels: the use of designed experiments in software engineering; empirical studies of programming organizations. Part 3 Tutorial: a cognitive architecture for programming design - Zippy's. Part 4 TOE/posters: an empirical evaluation of object-oriented practitioners' experiences; using observations to inform the design of remote collaboration tools for programming; empirical studies of algorithm animation for the selection sort; programming and transferable thinking skills - some field experimental results; interactive development of early usability evaluation models for software visualizations; computer programme comprehension processes - the effect of application domain knowledge.
