Cloud computing has emerged as one of the latest computing paradigm and is a growing technology for upcoming years. According to NIST Cloud computing is a model for convenient, on-demand network access to a large pool of computing resources. Resource can be hardware or software resource and this pool of resources can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimum management effort or cloud se...

1 INTRODUCTION The measurement of end-user computing satisfaction has had a long history within the IS discipline. To date, a number of attempts have been made to capture the overall post hoc evaluation that end users have regarding the use of an IS system along with the most immediate antecedent factors that form this satisfaction (Doll The purpose of this paper is to build further upon the ex...

The pervasiveness of end-user computing tools in the home and in workplaces, as well as the linkage of PCs into networks, have led to a convergence of end-user computing and corporate computing. As a result of this phenomenon, and because the productivity of end-users with these tools depends on how well suited the tools are to users, the issue of the suitability of computing tools for end-user...

The paper discusses some trends in end user programming (EUP) and takes inspiration from the discussions in a panel and in a vertical session on research evaluation within the second Search Computing workshop. We discuss the controversial successes and failures in this field and we elaborate on which facilities could foster adoption of end user programming. We discuss various dimensions of end ...

As the future pervasive and ubiquitous computing environment will be composed of resources from local computing, Grid, SOA and Web infrastructures, the complexity of this distributed system will increase significantly. At the same time the end user wants easy and simple access to his computing environment while he receives more responsibilities i.e. for the composition and the management of the...

The acceleration of technology in business since the 1980s suggests that traditional management techniques, systems, and strategies employed in a business environment should be challenged. As a consequence of this acceleration, end-user computing (EUC) and end-user development (EUD) have also grown. Definitions of EUC developed in the 1980s continue to be used by contemporary researchers withou...

Contemporary end users are more knowledgeable about computing technologies than the end users of the early ’80s. However, many researchers still use the end user classification scheme proposed by Rockart and Flannery (1983) more than two decades ago. This scheme is inadequate to classify contemporary end users since it is based mainly on their knowledge and ignores other crucial dimensions such...

Geographic information systems are becoming more popular for end-user and decision support system construction but they incorporate software and concepts with some inherent problems for end-user computing. This paper identifies several concepts developed during the construction of one end-user GIS that can be incorporated in a wide range of end-user GIS. The approaches make extensive use of met...

ion as a Means for End-User Computing in Creative Applications Mira Balaban ([email protected]) Eli Barzilay ([email protected]) Michael Elhadad ([email protected]) Abstract— End-User computing is needed in creative artistic applications or integrated editing environments, where the activity cannot be planned in advance. Following [1], Concrete abstractions (abstractions from examples), are...

Information technology assumed a role of growing importance in organizations during the 1980s. It is no longer used exclusively by small groups of computer specialists; but, rather, office automation and end user computing (EUC) are used by workers at all levels and in all areas of an organization. This study attempts to gain an understanding of factors associated with the use of EUC. The prese...
