End-user programming in a structured dialogue environment: the GIPSE project

Abstract

Computer Aided Design software is a class of application where the need for specialized versions of functions is especially important. These added functionalities are usually made by computer experts. The GIPSE system has been designed to allow end-users to specialize themselves their application to their need by removing or adding new functions. The creation of a new functionality is done by the way of Programming by Demonstration techniques, without any use of textual programming language. This allows GIPSE to be used by non computer literate.
