The main purpose of this SIG is to bring
about a coherent research agenda in the field of end user development.
Therefore we will bring together actors from the fields: adaptability,
adaptivity, tailoring of system functionality and user interfaces,
the use of annotations for individuals and user groups, and use
of effective visual and multimedia representations. Both single
and cooperative environments will be of interest.
Typical applications areas for end user development are mobile
systems and their applications (for example commerce), office and
decision support applications, and home applications. We will also
try to address the needs of expert communities, such as those working
in CAD Systems, technical maintenance, and Air Traffic Control.
In the SIG we aim to review the state of art in these field, to
give a framework to evaluate current approaches, and to identify
promising research lines and the possible results which can be foreseen
in the next years.
Topics of interests include:
 End user
development architectures
Innovative
scripting languages
Web-programming
Adaptive
and situation aware applications
Interfaces
for end user programming
Model-based
design
Collaborative
programming/tailoring activities
Design
principles for end user environment
Psychology
of end user programming
Heuristic
evaluations of end user programming environments
Ethnographical
studies on end user programming.

Discussion on future plans,
in particular on how to create a common background in this
area among those who are interested in it and how to influence
international bodies such as European Commission, National
Science Foundation (10 minutes).
