Welcome to EUSES
The EUSES Consortium was a collaboration by researchers at Oregon State University, Carnegie Mellon University, Drexel University, Penn State University, University of Nebraska, Cambridge University, University of Washington, City University of London, University of Tulsa, IBM, and STEM Academy. Our goal was to develop and investigate end-user software engineering technologies for enabling End Users to Shape Effective Software.
Research
This project built on and contributed to our work on the following constituent technologies:
- The End-User Software Engineering Project at Oregon State and Nebraska
- The WYSIWYT Methodology for testing at Oregon State and Nebraska
- Natural Programming Project at Carnegie Mellon
- Type Systems for Spreadsheets being developed at Oregon State
- The Gender HCI project at Oregon State
- Education Activities at Oregon State and Pennsylvania State
