The Shapes of Abstraction in Data Structure Diagrams

Tools to inspect runtime state, like print statements and debuggers, are an essential part of programming. Yet, a major limitation is that they present data at a fixed, low level of abstraction which can overload the user with irrelevant details. In contrast, human drawings of data structures use many illustrative vis…

Design Space Exploration for Board-level Circuits: Exploring Alternatives in Component-based Design

While recent work explores novel tools to make electronics and device design easier and more accessible, these tend to be either highly automated (great for novices, but limiting for more advanced users) or highly manual (suitable for experts, but imposes a higher skill barrier to entry). In this work, we examine a mi…

Weaving Schematics and Code: Interactive Visual Editing for Hardware Description Languages

In many engineering disciplines such as circuit board, chip, and mechanical design, a hardware description language (HDL) approach provides important benefits over direct manipulation interfaces by supporting concepts like abstraction and generator meta-programming. While several such HDLs have emerged recently and p…

Polymorphic Blocks: unifying high-level specification and low-level control for circuit board design

Mainstream board-level circuit design tools work at the lowest level of design — schematics and individual components. While novel tools are experimenting with higher levels of design, abstraction often comes at the expense of the fine-grained control afforded by low-level tools. In this work, we propose a hardware de…

Beyond Schematic Capture: Meaningful Abstractions for Better Electronics Design Tools

Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design tools are critical in helping users build non-trivial electronics devices. While recent work recognizes deficiencies with current tools and explores novel methods, little has been done to understand modern designers and their needs. To gain better insight into their practices, we int…
