Empirical assessment of languages for teaching concurrency: Methodology and application
2011
2011 24th IEEE-CS Conference on Software Engineering Education and Training (CSEE&T)
Concurrency has been rapidly gaining importance in computing, and correspondingly in computing curricula. Concurrent programming is, however, notoriously hard even for expert programmers. New language designs promise to make it easier, but such claims call for empirical validation. We present a methodology for comparing concurrent languages for teaching purposes. A critical challenge is to avoid bias, especially when (as in our example application) the experimenters are also the designers of
