CALL FOR PAPERS
IS-EUD 2013
International Symposium on End-User Development
June 11-13, 2013 IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark
==================================================================
Now more than ever users can create their own software in contexts chosen by themselves, at work, in education, for leisure, etc., by techniques such as modding, mashing, and tailoring. Spreadsheets, databases, web mash-ups, as well as content management systems and software products like ERP systems provide tools for End-User Development (EUD). The users of these tools are non-professional software developers, who create, modify and extend a software artifact.
The International Symposium on End User Development (IS-EUD) series is the main forum for reporting research in EUD. The next conference will be held at the IT University in Copenhagen, Denmark, June 11-13, 2013. It is a meeting point for researchers with an interdisciplinary interest, including: Human-Computer Interaction, Software Engineering, Computer Supported Cooperative Work, Artificial Intelligence, and related areas.
Among the challenges facing EUD are:
* Software process: End users often lack education in software development, in particular software project management and program verification; in these contexts users must tackle the challenges faced by professional software developers. Researchers have begun to develop tools for end users to help them reduce costly errors.
* Multidisciplinary cooperation: Cooperation between users, end-user developers and software engineers are crucial to inform design-time variation and use-time evolution of software in the user organization as well as for changing work practices. EUD research includes studies of organizational end-user tailoring to identify the cooperation and sharing around the evolution of software products and organizational IT-infrastructures.
* Use-orientation technologies: Technical design is required for orchestrating evolution of the basic software, customizations and configurations. Technical design approaches like component-based design, aspect oriented programming, or domain specific languages are promising starting points, but they need to be further developed to accommodate the needs of organizational end-user development.
We invite participation within the above themes as well as addressing related challenges in the following submission categories:
Long and short papers
Two different types of paper submissions are invited:
1) long papers, up to 16 pages, reporting research or design experience, and 2) short papers, up to 6 pages, describing work in progress or tool demonstrations.
Authors can submit and update submissions through the EasyChair system until January 11, 2013. Papers must be formatted according to Springer LNCS style. Three members of the Program Committee will review each submission. Some long papers may be suggested turned into short papers. Accepted papers (both long and short) will appear in the proceedings, published by Springer as Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
Workshops
Workshops will give participants the opportunities to share experiences, establish common understanding on shared topics, and identify open problems and rising challenges promoting future research on End-User Development. Workshops should be planned as a one-day event. Workshop proposals have to be submitted in PDF format and must contain:
1) Title of the workshop and short description of its topic, motivations, goals. 2) Name, institution, email address, and short bio for all the organizers. 3) Detailed plan for workshop publicity, potential attendees, potential program committee, method for papers selection, approximate schedule and post-workshop activities. 4) Call for Participation text (up to 600 words) that will be sent on mailing lists.
The proposal document must be submitted through the EasyChair system
Doctoral consortium
Current PhD students, studying an End-User Development relevant topic, are invited to submit a 4-page description of their PhD work to the IS-EUD Doctoral Consortium. Selected students will have the opportunity to present their work, get constructive feedback, and share ideas and experiences with other students and experts in the field. Further information can be found on the conference website.
User Evaluation Contest
Have you developed a tool or technique enabling end users to more easily accomplish a set of tasks in a commercial tool? If so, we invite you to submit a proposal to have your technique or tool evaluated in the User Evaluation Contest at EUD 2013! A program committee of industry practitioners and industry researchers will evaluate your tool or technique, how well it meets the usability needs of its users. Your submission will describe a set of user tasks that will show off the functionality of your tool or technique, along with a set of evaluation metrics necessary to characterize the end users' performance, correctness, or cognition on these tasks. Send proposals to the EUD user evaluation contest chairs.
