- This empirical research observed how professional developers engage in early software design at the whiteboard. Observing the nature and use of design sketches, the dialogues around them, and reasoning activities associated with those sketches provided a foundation for tool development. Presented in the world-class IEEE TSE, this detailed analysis of design activity by professional software designers contributed to award-winning PhD research (Mangano - ACM SIGSOFT Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award 2014). It provided theoretical underpinnings for Software Design Decoded (MIT Press, 2016), which has directly influenced subsequent collaborations with industry (e.g. [Envoy, Mozilla], [VP Software Development, NextGen Healthcare] details on request).
