Abstract

AλgoVista is a web-based search engine that assists programmers to find algorithms and implementations that solve specific problems. AλgoVista is not keyword based but rather requires users to provide — in a very simple textual language — input⇒output samples that describe the behavior of their needed algorithm. Unfortunately, even this simple language has proven too challenging for casual users.
