<br>
<p>We have 2 very exciting <b>keynotes speakers</b>:</p>
<p><strong>Mary Beth Rosson: </strong><b>Evolutionary Design of a
Developmental Learning Community</b> </p>
<p>Mary Beth Rosson, professor at the College of Information
Sciences and Technology of the Pennsylvania State University, is
internationally known for her research and education in
human-computer interaction, including participatory and
scenario-based design and evaluation methods, computer-supported
collaborative learning, and end-user development. <br>
</p>
<p><strong>Pelle Ehn: The End of the User – The Computer as a Thing</strong>
<br>
Pele Ehn, professor at the School of Arts and Communication, Malmö
University, Sweden, has for 4 decades (!) been involved in the
research field of participatory design. Projects include DEMOS
from the seventies on information technology and work place
democracy, UTOPIA from the eighties on user participation and
skill based design, ATELIER from the last decade on architecture
and technology for creative environments, and during the last
years Malmö Living Labs, on open design environments for social
innovation.<br>
<br>
</p>
<b>About the program:</b><br>
<p>End User Development relates two traditions that made Copenhagen
famous in the computing field: The idea that users can be part of
configuring, customizing and assembling their software tools and
environments is by many of the End User Development researchers
seen as a natural extension to Participatory Design. From a
programming language point of view this requires the development
of languages and programming environments that can be used by
non-IT professionals.</p>
<p>In the program of the 2013 End User Development International
Symposium, the two traditions meet. Some contributions focus on
the development of domain specific languages, e.g. for the
insurance domain. Others explore community collaboration in the
shaping of technology. The conference provides multiple
opportunities for exploring the complementarity and
interdependency of the two perspectives on End-User Development. </p>

<p>Welcome!<br>
