Values in Computing (Dagstuhl Seminar 19291)

Authors: Christoph Becker, Gregor Engels, Andrew Feenberg, Maria Angela Ferrario, and Geraldine Fitzpatrick

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 9, Issue 7 (2020)


Abstract
Values are deeply held principles guiding decisions of individuals, groups and organizations. Computing technologies are inevitably affected by values: through their design, values become embodied and enacted. However, some values are easier to quantify and articulate than others; for example, the financial value of a software product is easier to measure than its `fairness'. As a result, less measurable values are often dismissed in decision making processes as lacking evidence. This is particularly problematic since research shows that less measurable values tend to be more strongly associated with sustainable practices than easier to quantify ones; it also indicates that the systems we design are likely to be inadequate for tackling long-term complex societal problems such as environmental change and health-related challenges that so often computing technologies are asked to address. This seminar aims to examine the complex relations between values, computing technologies and society. It does so by bringing together practitioners and researchers from several areas within and beyond computer science, including human computer interaction, software engineering, computer ethics, moral philosophy, philosophy of technology, data science and critical data studies. The outcomes include concrete cases examined through diverse disciplinary perspectives and guidelines for values in computing research, development and education, which are expressed in this report.

Abstract
The goal of this roadmap paper is to summarize the state of-the-art and identify research challenges when developing, deploying and managing self-adaptive software systems. Instead of dealing with a wide range of topics associated with the field, we focus on four essential topics of self-adaptation: design space for adaptive solutions, processes, from centralized to decentralized control, and practical run-time verification and validation. For each topic, we present an overview, suggest future directions, and focus on selected challenges. This paper complements and extends a previous roadmap on software engineering for self-adaptive systems published in 2009 covering a different set of topics, and reflecting in part on the previous paper. This roadmap is one of the many results of the Dagstuhl Seminar 10431 on Software Engineering for Self-Adaptive Systems, which took place in October 2010.

A Methodology to Improve Dependability in Spreadsheets

Authors: Margaret M. Burnett, Marc Fisher II, and Gregg Rothermel

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 7081, End-User Software Engineering (2007)


Abstract
Spreadsheets are one of the most commonly used end user programming environments. As such, there has been significant effort on the part of researchers and practitioners to develop methodologies and tools to improve the dependability of spreadsheets. Our work has focused on the development of the "What You See Is What You Test" (WYSIWYT) family of techniques. WYSIWYT is designed to be seamlessly integrated into a spreadsheet environment and the user’s development processes. It uses visual devices that are integrated into the user’s spreadsheet to guide the process of finding and fixing problems with the spreadsheet.

Barriers to Successful End-User Programming

Authors: Andrew J. Ko

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 7081, End-User Software Engineering (2007)


Abstract
In my research and my personal life, I have come to know numerous people that our research community might call end-user programmers. Some of them are scientists, some are artists, others are educators and other types of professionals. One thing that all of these people have in common is that their goals are entirely unrelated to producing code. In some cases, programming may be a necessary part of accomplishing their goals, such as a physicist writing a simulation in C or an interaction designer creating an interactive prototype. In other cases, programming may simply be the more efficient alternative to manually solving a problem: one might find duplicate entries in an address book by visual search or by writing a short Perl script.

Dependability in Web Software

Authors: Sebastian Elbaum, Marc Fisher II, and Gregg Rothermel

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 7081, End-User Software Engineering (2007)


Abstract
The web is an increasingly important platform used for a wide variety of tasks on a regular basis. And as the web becomes more important, the ways in which it is used grows increasingly sophisticated. End users build web pages and applications, use web applications in new and unexpected ways and use web macro tools to automate web-based tasks. All of these tasks are error-prone. In addition, they often depend on external components outside of the control of the developer or end user. Therefore we have been developing tools and methodologies to assist users with these

Abstract
Are UML diagrams a good tool to teach middle school students how to make video games? Probably not, but what kinds end-user design aids such as mental models, scaffolding structures, examples or other kinds of objects to think we can we give to end-users in order to gradually introduce them to good programming practice?

End-User Development Techniques for Enterprise Resource Planning Software Systems

Authors: Michael Spahn, Stefan Scheidl, and Todor Stoitsev

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 7081, End-User Software Engineering (2007)


Abstract
The intent of this position paper is to present the focus of interest of our end-user development (EUD) related research at SAP Research CEC Darmstadt. As we are in an early phase of research, research topics will be presented rather than detailed results. We focus on investigating and applying EUD techniques suitable for enterprise resource planning (ERP) software systems, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Our current research addresses the sub-domains of workflow management and business intelligence.

End-User Software Engineering and Professional End-User Developers

Authors: Judith Segal

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 7081, End-User Software Engineering (2007)


Abstract
There is a great variety of end user developers and a great variety of contexts within which they develop. End user developers may have little or no experience of using computers – or may be adept coders in general purpose programming languages. They may develop their software on their own over a few minutes – or in groups over years. The software produced may be for their own use only – or for a large community of users. It may be inconsequential – or the consequences of its failure may be great. In this paper, we identify and discuss the problems of one particular group of end user developers – professional end user developers – who have no fear of coding and who develop software which plays a vital part in furthering their professional goals.

Exploiting Domain-Specific Structures For End-User Programming Support Tools

Authors: Robin Abraham and Martin Erwig

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 7081, End-User Software Engineering (2007)


Abstract
In previous work we have tried to transfer ideas that have been successful in general-purpose programming languages and mainstream software engineering into the realm of spreadsheets, which is one important example of an end-user programming environment. More specifically, we have addressed the questions of how to employ the concepts of type checking, program generation and maintenance, and testing in spreadsheets. While the primary objective of our work has been to offer improvements for end-user productivity, we have tried to follow two particular principles to guide our research. (1) Keep the number of new concepts to be learned by end users at a minimum. (2) Exploit as much as possible information offered by the internal structure of spreadsheets. In this short paper we will illustrate our research approach with several examples.

Helping Everday Users Establish Confidence for Everyday Applications

Authors: Mary Shaw

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 7081, End-User Software Engineering (2007)


Abstract
End users obtain their desired results by combining elements of information and computation from different applications. Software engineering provides little support for identifying, selecting, or combining these elements – that is, for helping end users to design computational support for their own tasks. Software engineering provides even less support to help end users to decide whether the resulting system is sufficiently dependable – whether it will meet their expectations. Many users, especially end users, base judgments about software on informal and undependable information, and they draw conclusions with informal rather than rational decision methods. We have been developing support for everyday dependability, with an emphasis on expressing expectations in abstractions familiar to the user and on obtaining software behavior that reasonably satisfies those expectations. In this Dagstuhl I would like to explore the differences between everyday informal reasoning and the rational processes of computer science in order to develop means for establishing credible indications of confidence for end users.
