Computer Guidance in Logical Research Félix Bou Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (IIIA - CSIC) Barcelona (Spain) [email protected] Barcelona Seminar 17th October 2008 Félix Bou (IIIA - CSIC) Computer Guidance in Logical Research 17th October 2008, Barcelona 1 / 5 The main tool is LATEX Everybody knows about it. This means something. Any editor can be used to write latex code, but it is desirable to use an efficient one (Vi(m), Emacs, WinEdt, TeXnicCenter, Kile, . ). This saves a lot of time. It is interesting to remark that there are (perl) scripts that continuously run latex. See http://magic.aladdin.cs.cmu.edu/2007/11/06/continuous-latex- compilation-using-latexmk/ It is convenient to take a look at the short document “An essential guide to LATEX2e usage” about bad habits. ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/info/l2tabu/english/l2tabuen.pdf Félix Bou (IIIA - CSIC) Computer Guidance in Logical Research 17th October 2008, Barcelona 2 / 5 A great auxiliary tool is BibTeX This helps to citations inside a LATEXdocument. You have to write in the code something like \bibliographystyle{alpha} %% or plain, etc. \bibliography{logalg} where “logalg.bib” is for instance the name of the database. There are a lot of webpages where you can download citations in bibtex format. For example, Mathscinet, Zentralblatt, The ACM Digital Library, etc. There are great bibtex database managers like JabRef, Pybliographer and Bibdesk. They allow to synchronize your database with files inside your computer. This provides a really efficient way to find and organize your e-papers and e-books. Félix Bou (IIIA - CSIC) Computer Guidance in Logical Research 17th October 2008, Barcelona 3 / 5 Automatic Theorem Provers (ATPs) There are a lot of them. A helpful indexes are the ones given in http://www-formal.stanford.edu/clt/ARS/systems.html and http://ar.colognet.org/tools.php We will take a carefull look at the pair Prover9-Mace4 http://www.cs.unm.edu/ mccune/prover9/ I also want to mention SEM (system for enumerating finite models) http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/ hzhang/sem.html Félix Bou (IIIA - CSIC) Computer Guidance in Logical Research 17th October 2008, Barcelona 4 / 5 The Universal Algebra Calculator UACalc It is available at http://www.uacalc.org/ Among other things it can compute all congruences (of a finite algebra) and find the free algebra finitely generated (of the variety generated by a finite algebra).

You need to nd related literature, take notes, draft the thesis, and eventually write the nal document and create the bibliography. Many books explain how to perform a literature survey and how to write scholarly literature in general and a thesis in particular (e.g. [1-9]). However, these books barely, if at all, cover software tools that help in performing these tasks. This is surprising, because great software tools that can facilitate the daily work of students and researchers are available and many of them for free. In this tutorial, we present a new method to reviewing scholarly literature and drafting a thesis using mind mapping software, PDF readers, and reference managers. This tutorial focuses on writing a PhD thesis. However, the presented methods are likewise applicable to planning and writing a bachelor thesis or master thesis. This tutorial is special, because it integrates the management of PDF les, the relevant content in PDFs (bookmarks), and references with mind mapping and word processing software.

Tool Support for the Search Process of Systematic Literature Reviews
Institute of Architecture of Application Systems University of Stuttgart Universitätsstraße 38 D–70569 Stuttgart Bachelorarbeit Tool Support for the Search Process of Systematic Literature Reviews Dominik Voigt Course of Study: Informatik Examiner: Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. Frank Leymann Supervisor: Karoline Wild, M.Sc. Commenced: May 4, 2020 Completed: November 4, 2020 Abstract Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is a popular research method with adoption across different research domains that is used to draw generalizations, compose multiple existing concepts into a new one, or identify conflicts and gaps in existing research. Within the Information Technology domain, researchers face multiple challenges during the search step of an SLR which are caused by the use of different query languages by digital libraries. This thesis proposes tool support that provides cross-library search by using a common query language across digital libraries. For this the existing digital library APIs and query languages have been analyzed and a new cross-library query language and transformation was developed that allows the formulation of cross-library queries that can be transformed into existing query languages. These concepts have been integrated within an existing reference management tool to provide integrated and automated cross-library search and result management to address the challenges faced by Information Technology researchers during the search step. 3 Contents 1 Introduction 13 2 Background and Fundamentals 15 2.1 Systematic Literature Review Process ....................... 15 2.2 Metadata Formats for Literature Reference Management ............. 20 2.3 Queries on Digital Libraries ............................ 21 2.4 Challenges during the Search Process ....................... 24 3 Related Work 29 3.1 Existing Approaches ...............................

UNDERSTANDING HOW DEVELOPERS WORK ON CHANGE TASKS USING INTERACTION HISTORY AND EYE GAZE DATA By Ahraz Husain Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Computing and Information Systems YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY December 2015 UNDERSTANDING HOW DEVELOPERS WORK ON CHANGE TASKS USING INTERACTION HISTORY AND EYE GAZE DATA Ahraz Husain I hereby release this thesis to the public. I understand that this thesis will be made available from the OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access. I also authorize the University or other individuals to make copies of this thesis as needed for scholarly research. Signature: Ahraz Husain, Student Date Approvals: Bonita Sharif, Thesis Advisor Date Yong Zhang, Committee Member Date Feng Yu, Committee Member Date Sal Sanders, Associate Dean of Graduate Studies Date Abstract Developers spend a majority of their efforts searching and navigating code with the retention and management of context being a considerable challenge to their productivity. We aim to explore the contextual patterns followed by software developers while working on change tasks such as bug fixes. So far, only a few studies have been undertaken towards their investigation and the development of methods to make software development more efficient. Recently, eye tracking has been used extensively to observe system usability and advertisement placements in applications and on the web, but not much research has been done on context management using this technology in software engineering and how developers work. In this thesis, we analyze an existing dataset of eye tracking and interaction history that were collected simultaneously in a previous study.

Basically, anyone who is doing research by reading a lot of content on a particular project or has to keep track of a number of citations and sources and needs to keep all the information and sources in one place. The study discusses about the basics of Reference Management Tools followed by definitions, core functions of RMT’s, comparison with other reference management tools like Endnote, Mendeley and Zotero, and finally we discussed about the use of Endnote in the R & D libraries. Keywords: Reference Management Tools, Functions, Popular Tools, Comparison, Mendeley, Zotero, R & D Libraries. 1. Background In today’s scientific research and production managing references has always been a difficult task in reporting research results and producing academic writings. Various software programs have been adopted by, and specifically developed for, authors of systematic reviews.

Integration of the Scientific Recommender System Mr. Dlib Into the Reference Manager Jabref
In Proceedings of the 39th European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR). To appear in April 2017. Preprint. Integration of the Scientific Recommender System Mr. DLib into the Reference Manager JabRef Stefan Feyer1, Sophie Siebert2, Bela Gipp1, Akiko Aizawa3, and Joeran Beel3;4 1 University of Konstanz, Germany stefan.feyer|[email protected], 2 Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg, Germany [email protected], 3 National Institute of Informatics (NII), Tokyo, Japan [email protected] 4 Trinity College Dublin, SCSS, KDEG, ADAPT Centre, Ireland [email protected] Abstract. This paper presents a description of integration of the Mr. DLib scientific recommender system into the JabRef reference manager. Scientific recommender systems help users identify relevant papers out of vast amounts of existing literature. They are particularly useful when used in combination with reference managers. Over 85% of JabRef users stated that they would appreciate the integration of a recommender sys- tem. However, the implementation of literature recommender systems requires experience and resources that small companies cannot afford. With the desires of users in mind, we integrated the Mr. DLib scientific recommender system into JabRef. Using Mr. DLib's recommendations- as-a-service, JabRef users can find relevant literature and keep them- selves informed about the state of the art in their respective fields. Keywords: IR, scientific recommender system, reference manager, recommendations-as-a-service 1 Introduction Scientific recommender systems are used by many academic services, including digital libraries and reference managers. Reference managers are particularly suitable for offering recommendations on related articles because such recom- mendations enable users to identify relevant information more easily from the large volume of existing reports, articles, and papers.

Tools for Creating Bibliographic Databases for Use with Bibtex D.V.L.K.D.P
The PracTEX Journal, 2007, No. 3 Article revision 2007/08/14 Tools for creating bibliographic databases for use with BibTEX D.V.L.K.D.P. Venugopal Email [email protected] Address Senior Personal Assistant Vice-Chancellor’s Office Banaras Hindu University Varanasi 221 005, India Abstract By using BibTEX we can easily change the style of Bibliography/References according to the style of the journal. But creating bibliographic databases for use with BibTEX is very cumbersome. This article describes the various software tools available for creating bibliographic databases easily, particu- larly for the Windows platform. 1 Introduction One of the major advantages of using LATEX is ease of inclusion of bibliographies in conjunction with BibTEX. Various bibliographic style files (bst) are available for different journals and publishing houses. Using these bst files the format and citation style can be changed easily[1]. This facility is not available in commercial wordprocessors or desktop publishing systems. Creating BibTEX databases is also discussed in LATEX Tutorials[2] and by Parthasarathy[3]. Bibliographic databases for BibTEX can be created using ordinary editors but it is tedious work involving a lot of typing. But once created, the same data can be used many times and by many users. A search on the Internet for BibTEX database managers gives a long list of free and commercial software1. To name a few: bibtex mode and Ebib (for Emacs), Pybliographer (using Python for Linux), gBib (for GNOME, Linux), Barracuda (for Linux), KBibTeX (for KDE, Linux), Sixpack (multi platform), JBibtexManager, Javabib and JabRef (multi platform using Java), BibDB (for DOS and Windows), 1.
