IS-EUD 2025

Welcome to IS-EUD 2025

End-User Development (EUD) aims to empower end-users who are not necessarily experts in software development to create their own software to address their specific needs. IS-EUD is a bi-annual event that gathers researchers interested in extending the knowledge about how to design end-user development technologies and provide scientific accounts of phenomena surrounding EUD practices.

Can Learners Design Their Future? Promoting Agency with Large Language Models in Education

17 June 2025

Large language models are disrupting end-user development by empowering non-experts, particularly learners, to design their own digital tools and environments. In education, this change raises a key question: How can learners gain agency as designers of their learning ecosystems and develop tools such as personalized learning aids, collaborative platforms or AI-powered simulations? This talk explores strategies for using large language models for learner-centered end-user development, focusing on intuitive design scaffolding, transparent AI interactions, and fostering creative agency. Drawing on research in educational technology, human-computer interaction, and Generative AI, this talk presents practical examples that illustrate how learners can be empowered while addressing challenges such as digital literacy barriers, AI and algorithmic literacy, and equitable access to technology.

Efficiency and Creativity: The Myth of Natural Language Interaction

18 June 2025

Speed is the distinctive feature of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI), and creativity is the distinctive feature of human intelligence—a combination of fast and slow thinking. End-User Development (EUD) is the extreme interface between humans and machines. It advances efficient and creative solutions to personal needs. My presentation addresses the following question: “How does the machine speed affect creative EUD?”. I elaborate an answer based on the research with artists we carry out at the Human Technology Lab of the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano. This context naturally brings forward a critical reading of artificial creativity and its impact on users and software. Artists are problem-makers, developers are problem-solvers. The problems exposed by the artists highlighted three main themes related to agency, conflict and ideology. Now it is the responsibility of the EUD community to solve them.
