Aucbvax.4330 fa.editor-p utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!editor-people Thu Oct 8 17:35:25 1981 formal study of editors >From Admin.JQJ@SU-SCORE Thu Oct 8 17:30:29 1981 For those of you who are tired of rhetoric which reduces to "what's your favorite editor", I would like to recommend an article I recently ran across. The authors attempt to survey some of the recent findings in psychology and computer science which relate to editor design. Noone who is seriously interested in editors should miss this and the articles it cites:

Embly, D.W. & Nagy, G. Empirical and Formal Methods for the Study of Computer Editors. In Coombs, M.J., & Alty, J.L. (Eds.), Computing Skills and the User Interface. (I don't know the publisher), 1981.

Those of you who have already read it, have you any comments or reviews for the rest of us (I haven't had time to do more than skim it, yet, myself). -------
