Using Bayesian Statistical Methods to Determine the Level of Error in Large Spreadsheets. (Draft)
Spreadsheets are ubiquitous with evidence that Microsoft Excel, the leading application in the area, has an install base of 90% on end-user desktops.
Natural Language Processing for Spreadsheet Information Retrieval
Spreadsheets can be used for a variety of tasks including inventory management. Most spreadsheet applications provide the ability to extract additional information from this data, through techniques such as filtering and PivotTables.
Voice Recognition Technology for Spreadsheet Navigation and Information Retrieval
Due to the large volume of data that spreadsheets can store, finding meaningful information can be a difficult task. Existing tools can be quite complex and difficult to master, especially for novice spreadsheet users.
NLP-SIR: A Natural Language Approach for Spreadsheet Information Retrieval
Spreadsheets are a ubiquitous software tool, used for a wide variety of tasks such as financial modelling, statistical analysis and inventory management.

Voice-controlled Debugging of Spreadsheets
Developments in Mobile Computing are putting pressure on the software industry to research new modes of interaction that do not rely on the traditional keyboard and mouse combination.
Intelligent Voice Navigation of Spreadsheets: An Empirical Evaluation
Interaction with software systems has become second nature to most computer users, however when voice recognition is introduced, this simple procedure becomes quite complex.
Investigating the Potential of Test-Driven Development for Spreadsheet Engineering
It is widely documented that the absence of a structured approach to spreadsheet engineering is a key factor in the high level of spreadsheet errors. In this paper we propose and investigate the application of Test-Driven Development to the creation of spreadsheets.
An Empirical Study of End-User Behaviour in Spreadsheet Error Detection & Correction
Very little is known about the process by which end-user developers detect and correct spreadsheet errors. Any research pertaining to the development of spreadsheet testing methodologies or auditing tools would benefit from information on how end-users perform the debugging process in practice.
An Empirical Study of End-User Behaviour in Spreadsheet Debugging
Very little is known about the process by which end-user developers audit and debug spreadsheets.
Unobtrusive Data Acquisition for Spreadsheet Research
Spreadsheets are one of the most common end-user programming environments in use today, and their importance in the business world continues to grow.
Spreadsheet End-User Behaviour Analysis
To aid the development of spreadsheet debugging tools, a knowledge of end-users natural behaviour within the Excel environment would be advantageous.
Evaluation of an Intelligent Assistive Technology for Voice Navigation of Spreadsheets
An integral part of spreadsheet auditing is navigation. For sufferers of Repetitive Strain Injury who need to use voice recognition technology this navigation can be highly problematic.
