End-User Development (EUD) offers lightweight, use-time support which allows end users to configure, adapt and evolve software themselves. As organizations and work practices vary widely and evolve rapidly, the technological infrastructure has to permit and even support these changes. Traditional Software Engineering approaches reach their limits whenever the full spectrum of user requirements cannot be anticipated or the frequency of changes cannot be accommodated by traditional processes. EUD refers to a set of methods, techniques, and tools that allow users acting as non-professional software developers to create, modify or extend a software artifact.
The International Symposium on EUD brings together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia working in the field of EUD. While programming activities by non-professional actors are an essential focus, EUD also investigates into related activities within the process of developing a software infrastructure, e.g. the collective understanding and sense-making of use problems and solution alternatives, the interactions among end users around new configurations, and delegation patterns that may also partly involve professional designers. To this end, EUD brings together threads of discussion from disciplines like Human-Computer Interaction, Software Engineering, Computer Supported Cooperative Work, Artificial Intelligence.
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts of original unpublished work in all areas related to EUD. Full papers may address research on cognitive and design aspects, underlying theories, formal methods, taxonomies, implementation efforts, tool support, and empirical studies. Short papers that present work in progress or demonstrations of tools are also solicited.
Workshops complement the scientific program. They provide an informal setting where participants have the opportunity to discuss specific topics related to EUD. IS-EUD 2011 also includes the Doctoral Consortium to bring together PhD students working on theory and application of EUD.
