Call for Participation
======================
Workshop "EUD as a Cooperative Activity"
http://www.fit.fraunhofer.de/~klann/EUD_for_cooperation.html
as part of the
International Symposium on End-User Development October 6th-7th 2003,
Schloss
Birlinghoven, near Bonn, Germany
http://www.fit.fraunhofer.de/veranstaltungen/enduser/index_en.html
Topic
-----
The research field of end-user development (EUD) deals with the question
of how
end-users, typically without programming skills, can substantially adapt
software systems to their ever changing and varied requirements. It
deals with
the required software architectures, software engineering methods, the
cognitive aspects of these adaptation activities, etc.
In this workshop we shall focus on collaborative end-user development
(EUD) for
collaboration systems. The social character of collaborative activities
entails
a number of particularly interesting opportunities for collaborative EUD
of the
respective support systems. On the one hand, the question is what kind
of
flexibility cooperative systems must expose to be smoothly adaptable to
its user
community and co-evolve with it. On the other hand, the question is what
kind of
mechanisms a cooperative system should have to help its users in
identifying
their joint requirements, negotiating suitable adaptations and finding
agreement
on how to implement them.
