rather emerge during the use of systems and services. This occurs as real-world use is embedded in practice in a specific context. End-user development is a field that aims to empower end-users who may not be experts in software development, to create their
own software to address their specific needs. End-user development is an interdisciplinary field that traditionally relates to areas such as human–computer interaction, psychology of programming, and empirical studies in software engineering. Technological
trends like ubiquitous computing, tangible and embodied interaction, and the Internet-of-Things have renewed interest in end-user development for diverse audiences focusing on industrial design, online communities, open innovation, and crowdsourcing.</span><br>
