User Driven Modelling and Systematic Interaction for End-User Programming

This is the abstract of a talk I’ll give to – Systems Research Showcase, INCOSE UK, Bristol Local Group, Wednesday 24th March 2010 – at Bristol University – http://www.bristol.ac.uk/engineering/systemscentre/news/2010/incoseblg.html . This talk discusses PhD research (just submitted) into building a systematic infrastructure and capability, and how to solve problems which could hamper this. This approach is based on creation of systems that can be customised to produce other systems and models, and translation from abstract diagrammatic representations to computer representations.The conclusion explains how this approach to modelling and end-user programming enables interoperability, and collaboration, and that this assists with Maintenance, Extensibility, Ease of Use, and Sharing of Information.
