Item Open Access Design and implementation of a tool for teaching programming(Bilkent University, 1988) Göktepe, MesutIn this thesis, a survey on computer applications for teaching programming and some graphical programming tools together with their underlying environments has been carried out and a graphical Pascal teaching tool is designed and implemented. Graphical programming tools provide the user the ability to solve the problems through the use of icons and symbols allowing very little text. Here, a Pascal teaching tool is presented in a very user friendly environment to teach programming through the use of flowcharts in a visual manner.Item Open Access Text, image, graphics editor(Bilkent University, 1988) Coşar, AhmetThe editor proposed in this study can manipulate textual, graphics and image data in a unified way. Each data type can be edited individually or dependencies can be set up between various data items so that modifying one might propagate its effects on others. The system is developed by using new software tools and techniques such as object oriented programming, multi window workstations running with event selection principles and iconic interfacing. Facilities for data protection, such as journaling are provided. Data storage and editing principles are handled within guidelines of well established standards. However, where such definitions fall short, proposals for new techniques are made especially with respect to relation sets binding various data typesItem Open Access User interfaces for computer-aided architectural design(Bilkent University, 1993) Kulaksız, AygünThe rapidly developing technology of the twentieth century has transformed the general use of computers into a specific, convenient, and necessary tool for professionals. As in each profession, they are also used by architects. But, architects have some problems with the properties of user-computer interface that inherit from the times when computers were only used by computer professionals. Considering the architects professional needs and expectations, this thesis intends to avoid the unsatisfying results of this poor dialogue. After mentioning the development of human-computer interaction, the specific problems that a new user may face and the characteristics of a well designed interface are described. Although there are much more primitive action units performed by the user, the essential ones such as interaction tasks, the complementaries like controlling tasks that may be preferred by architects are examined. Different types of interaction techniques which respond to the various kinds of requirements of these tasks are explained, by identifying their advantages and disadvantages. In order to establish the architects’ intended goals, some formal specifications, standards and prototypes that are required by the increasing needs for communication, the access of information technology and the rising involvement of architects into the computer-aided technology, are identified. Gradually the evaluation of the interface is stated as a guidehne both for the architect who wants to use a software and the computer programmer who wants to write a software for the architects.
