End User Development

This book makes important aspects of the international discussion on End User Development (EUD) available to a broader audience. It offers a unique set of contributions from research institutes worldwide, addressing relevant issues and proposing original solutions. This broad look at the emerging paradigm of End-User Development will inspire every reader to appreciate its potential for the future. Indeed, the editors hope that readers – "end-users" - will themselves become developers.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 2nd International Symposium on End User Development, IS-EUD 2009, held in Siegen, Germany in March 2009.

The 12 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited talks and 2 refereed notes were carefully reviewed and selected. The papers report latest advances in the field of "End User Development" (EUD) such as collective understanding and sense-making of use problems and solutions, the interaction among end users with regard to the introduction and diffusion of new configurations, or delegation patterns that may also partly involve professional designers.
