Research on end-user programming tool for pen-based e-form software

Abstract

Pen-based e-form is the e-form software based on pen-based user interface. Because of the complexity of existing development tool and difficulty of implementing pen-based user interface, pen-based e-form only can be designed and implemented by the professional developers, which make it difficult to adapt to the changing user requirements. It is a good method to solve the above problem to develop a software programming tool which supports end users to design their own software. Therefore, the paper systemically searches the end-user programming tool for pen-based e-form software, and details its software structure and component. In the end, we develop the prototype system and analyze its end-user programming support degree.
