Experiences of early assessment to teach functional programming (2025)
Journal Article
Chapman, P. (2025). Experiences of early assessment to teach functional programming. Journal of Functional Programming, 35, Article e4. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0956796824000182

This paper reports on the experiences of using an early assessment intervention, specifically employing a Use-Modify-Create scaffold, to teach first-year undergraduate functional programming. The particular intervention that was trialled was the use... Read More about Experiences of early assessment to teach functional programming.

Hoop Diagrams: A Set Visualization Method (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Rodgers, P., Chapman, P., Blake, A., Nollenburg, M., Wallinger, M., & Dobler, A. (2024, September). Hoop Diagrams: A Set Visualization Method. Presented at 14th International Conference on the Theory and Application of Diagrams, Munster, Germany

We introduce Hoop Diagrams, a new visualization technique for set data. Hoop Diagrams are a circular visualization with hoops representing sets and sectors representing set intersections. We present an interactive tool for drawing Hoop Diagrams and d... Read More about Hoop Diagrams: A Set Visualization Method.

Evaluating Colour in Concept Diagrams (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McGrath, S., Blake, A., Stapleton, G., Touloumis, A., Chapman, P., Jamnik, M., & Shams, Z. (2022, September). Evaluating Colour in Concept Diagrams. Presented at International Conference on the Theory and Application of Diagrams, Rome

This paper is the first to establish the impact of colour on users' ability to interpret the informational content of concept diagrams, a logic designed for ontology engineering. Motivation comes from results for Euler diagrams, which form a fragment... Read More about Evaluating Colour in Concept Diagrams.

Minimising line segments in linear diagrams is NP-hard (2022)
Journal Article
Chapman, P., Sim, K., & Hao Chen, H. (2022). Minimising line segments in linear diagrams is NP-hard. Journal of Computer Languages, 71, Article 101136. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cola.2022.101136

Linear diagrams have been shown to be an effective method of representing set-based data. Moreover, a number of guidelines have been proven to improve the efficacy of linear diagrams. One of these guidelines is to minimise the number of line segments... Read More about Minimising line segments in linear diagrams is NP-hard.

Interactivity in Linear Diagrams (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chapman, P. (2021, September). Interactivity in Linear Diagrams. Presented at Diagrams: International Conference on Theory and Application of Diagrams, Online

Linear diagrams have been shown to be an effective method for representing set-based data. Moreover, design principles have been empirically developed that, when followed, improve the efficacy of linear diagrams. These principles are task-independent...

Antipattern comprehension dataset (2019)
Data
Hou, T., & Chapman, P. (2019). Antipattern comprehension dataset. [Data]. https://doi.org/10.17869/enu.2019.2275783

Comprehension of justifications is known to be difficult for even experienced ontology engineers, and much more so for other stakeholders. In the paper associated with this data set, we presented two methods for displaying justifications using concep... Read More about Antipattern comprehension dataset.
