Abstract

We present Selene, a source code recommendation tool based on an associative search engine. It spontaneously searches and displays example programs while the developer is editing a program text. By using an associative search engine, it can search a repository of two million example programs within a few seconds. This paper discusses issues that are revealed by our ongoing implementation of Selene, in particular those of performance, similarity measures and user interface.
