Abstract

Debugging tools for end-user programming have largely concentrated on generic and general-domain applications, such as spreadsheets. Complex, domain specific tasks such as cellular modeling, however, introduce new types of errors, non-existent in a general domain. These errors may be generated at typographical, semantic, modeling, or cognitive levels. Our work explores requirements and potential for error detection and debugging systems within an end-user programming (EUP) environment geared toward modeling cellular biology.
