An Empirical Study on Program Comprehension with Reactive Programming
"... ABSTRACT Starting from the first investigations with strictly functional languages, reactive programming has been proposed as THE programming paradigm for reactive applications. The advantages of designs based on this style over designs based on the Observer design pattern have been studied for a l ..."

empirical study that evaluates the effect of reactive programming on comprehensibility compared to the traditional object-oriented style with the Observer design pattern. Results confirm the conjecture that comprehensibility is enhanced by reactive programming. In the experiment, the reactive programming
An Empirical Evaluation of Dependence Analysis in Parallel Program Comprehension
, 1995
"... This research contributes two advances to the field of empirical study of parallel programming: first, the introduction of the Xbrowser system, a unique general-purpose hypertext/hypermedia system combining high-quality text formatting using TEX or LaTEX with author-controlled support for event-leve ..."

Using a review-of-reviews approach across 4 areas (substance abuse, risky sexual behavior, school failure, and juvenile delinquency and violence), the authors identified 9 characteristics that were consistently associated with effective prevention programs: Programs were comprehensive, included
Self-concordance at work: Toward understanding the motivational effects of transformational leaders.
- Academy of Management Journal,
, 2003
"... We extend existing theories by linking transformational leadership to "self-concordance" at work. In two studies using diverse samples and methods, leader behaviors were associated with follower tendencies to set self-concordant goals. In general, followers of transformational leaders vie ..."

viewed their work as more important and as more self-congruent. The effects of self-concordant work goals on job attitudes and performance were generally positive; however, the pattern of relationships differed in the field study and the experimental study. Over the past 20 years, considerable research
Expressiveness and Effectiveness of Program Comprehension: Thoughts on Future Research Directions
