About WEUSE IV

The Fourth Workshop on End-User Software Engineering is a one-day workshop intended to focus on the challenges faced in helping end users create dependable software. The proposed workshop aims to bring together software engineering researchers who wish to address these challenges, and is the next one planned in the series that has proven to be an invaluable forum for bringing together researchers working on this problem in disparate domains.

WEUSE I was held in conjunction with ICSE '05 at St. Louis, USA.
WEUSE II was held in conjunction with CHI '06 at Vienna, Austria.
WEUSE III was a Dagstuhl workshop on End-User Software Engineering held from 18 to 23 February, 2007.

WEUSE IV is structured around four themes. Each of the twenty short papers accepted to the workshop has overlap with one or more of the following themes:

Empirical evaluation in end-user software engineering
Learning from end users
Software engineering for end users
End-user tools for creating dependable software

The workshop will consist of four session. In each session, the Session Chair will present their vision for the theme that is the focus of the session, together with a brief overview of the papers related to that theme. A period of discussion, open to the workshop attendees, will follow this presentation.

Please see the program for the detailed workshop schedule.
