Week 22: 1/21/2016-1/28/2016

This past week I revised our Tapia submission, updated the VISSOFT website, figured out a bug in iTrace, finished editing/revising my NCWIT application (and submitted it), and I read a paper on eye-tracking data analysis.

I made minor formatting changes to our Tapia submission to get it into the correct specifications for submission. We will be submitting it today or tomorrow.

I added the program committee to the VISSOFT 2016 website's Committee page. I had to add each individual person (20 in total) to the Committee's page file. Their names, universities, and web-pages had to be listed.

We are getting ready to release a new version of iTrace that includes support for Stack Overflow and Bug Report documents. There was one bug I had to fix. Both the Bug Report and the Stack Overflow managers were trying to create a function, in Javascript, at the same time named the same thing. So, the Bug Report function would overwrite the Stack Overflow function destroying the ability to capture gazes for Stack Overflow documents. A simple function name change was needed to solve the issue and we will be moving forward with the release soon.

I finished editing my NCWIT Collegiate Award video and written material. I submitted my application on Sunday, 1/24/2016.

Finally, I read ScanMatch: A novel method for comparing fixation sequences, and determined that we can use ScanMatch in two different ways to see how we can identify patterns in eye-tracking data. We hope that there will be a lot of commonality among expert software developer sequential eye-gaze data and a lot of commonality among novice software developer sequential eye-gaze data, but not a lot of commonality between novices and experts.
