Peer-reviewed journals articles are a commonly used source of communication among the members of the computer science discourse community. This specific article is published in Volume 3 of The Programming Journal and was written by five authors all from the Hasso Plattner Institute in Germany.
This article follows the format of a scientific peer-reviewed article beginning with an Abstract providing a clear summary of the article. The authors then go into an introduction and discuss the key elements that are necessary for the rest of the text to be comprehended, "A variety of programming environments and tools can provide the impression of changing a program while it is running [8, 36, 38]. Nowadays, this impression is often described as liveness." Once a base has been established for the research to follow, the authors go on to the next section of there research questions and what the goal of this article is. It is stated that "The goal of this survey is to determine differences and commonalities between the three communities around the terms live coding, live programming, and exploratory programming. In this context, we posed seven research questions." The research questions are then listed and a methodologies section follows, providing detailed research, statistics, and analysis to answer the proposed research questions. A results section is then shared providing graphs and tables to discuss their findings. The different sections of this article highly appeal to readers through logos throughout the fourth section of the article, "Corpus Characteristics," in which prior to sharing diagrams and graphs, it is stated, "In this section, we will describe the distributions of publications resulting from search and appraisal. We will also illustrate the distribution of bibliographic data, such as the historic distribution of terms, related keywords, and venues." The credibility established in this section of the article along with citations present throughout other sections, establish credibility of the findings at the end of the research conducted and discussed by this article.
Although journals and peer-reviewed articles are a widely used method of communication among the discourse community, websites are much more informative and interactive. There are a handful which are are very widely used and provide access to all the different aspects of the discourse community. This includes information on conferences, access to databases, journals, articles, magazines, and much more.
The Association for Computing Machinery is a professional website from which this magazine, "Communications of the ACM" has been retrieved. This website is the largest computing society out there and focuses on the educational and professional aspects of the computer science field. This magazine is "recognized as the most trusted and knowledgeable source of industry information for today's computing professional" and consists of "the latest discoveries, innovations, and research that inspire and influence the field." It is read by over eighty-five thousand individuals worldwide. Each month, new stories discussing the latest updates within computer science are released.
The current September 2019 issue of the magazine discusses computational sustainability and highlights "The Essentials of Modern Software Engineering." It also consists of different sections such as an Editors Letter, different departmental sections, a calendar, news updates, Q&A, and more. The main goal amongst those within the computer science discourse community is to stay updated on the technological advancements taking place. Due to the constant changes and developments in the millions of different types of technologies, websites providing articles and magazines are essential. These allow for all members of the discourse community to stay on the same page on a global scale.
Information Integration & Web Based Applications & Services (iiWAS) - "Program Book"
Conferences are a third and extremely effective form of communication among the discourse community. Hundreds of conferences are Heald each year in efforts to bring different parts of the communities together and discuss different points of view, projects, research, etc. The iiWAS conference is endorsed by the International Organization for Information Integration & Web Based Applications and Services. This specific conference is international and brings together individuals of the discourse community to discuss and analyze data corresponding to technological advancements in human activity.
This conference is held in Munich, Germany and has been held annually since 1998. The program book for this conference is split up into various sections. The first of which is a welcome message introducing the conference, "Munich welcomes you to iiWAS/MoMM 2019, the premier international forum for like-minded academics and innovators, meeting to share digital discoveries, new methodologies, and ground-breaking applications of our core technologies." Following the welcome message, the committees are listed and then the general information regarding the conference. Participants begin by registration at the front desk and precede to go to the different events which occur throughout the day. There is a conference opening, keynote talks held by the three keynote speakers of the conference, and then everyone is broken into four different presentation sessions which conclude the day.
