چکیده
The research field of End-User Development (EUD) has evolved, during recent years, to a certain degree of internal structure, problem awareness and consistency. Both academia and industry have begun to consider it an important field for research and development. In order to let EUD research contribute to the Information Societies, research and development must continue in a consolidated and well-balanced way. This chapter provides an overview of major challenges, motivates why these challenges should be addressed with considerable effort to bring about an Information Society with empowered end-users, and finally discusses how these challenges should be translated into a concrete research and development agenda for the shortand mid-term future.

متن کاملMarkus Won , Oliver Stiemerling , and Volker Wulf Component - Based Approaches to Tailorable Systems
Flexibility is one of the most striking features of modern software. As the idea of integrating components is easily understood by programmers as well as end users, component architectures seem to be very promising to serve as a technological basis. In this paper we give an overview of our work in the last years. A component model called FLEXIBEANS has been designed with the special notion to d...
متن کاملThere Is Room for a Fifth Role Component-based Technologies for End-user Development
in CBSD—that of end-user developers positioned between application assemblers and end users. These end-user developers are able to tailor applications at runtime because they have both domain expertise and technical know-how, but they are not perceived as programmers. They would interact with applications to adjust individual components by tailoring techniques [5], and modify existing assemblie...
متن کاملHenry Lieberman , Fabio Paternó , Markus Klann , and Volker Wulf End - User Development : an Emerging Paradigm
We think that over the next few years, the goal of human-computer interaction will evolve from just making systems easy to use (even though that goal has not yet been completely achieved) to making systems that are easy to develop. By now, most people have become familiar with the basic functionality and interfaces of computers. However, developing new or modified applications that effectively ...
