Abstract

The once-sharp distinction between software users and developers is fading away, and richer ecologies of participation are emerging. In particular, software engineering R&D faces new challenges from the quickly increasing population of software developers who are domain experts but don't have the time or desire to be professional software engineers. The metadesign framework reformulates software development activities as a continuum of different degrees of design and use. It's supported by the "seeding, evolutionary growth, reseeding" model and supports the coevolution of individuals, communities, and systems. Guidelines derived from these models can help software developers produce tools for end-user development. This article is part of a special issue on end-user software engineering.

End-User Software Engineering and Why it Matters

End-user programming has become ubiquitous; so much so that there are more end-user programmers today than there are professional programmers. End-user programming empowers-but to do what? Make bad decisions based on bad programs? Enter software ...

Most programs today are written not by professional software developers, but by people with expertise in other domains working towards goals for which they need computational support. For example, a teacher might write a grading spreadsheet to save time ...
