| Abstract | This paper presents the “Evolving the Painters' Palette” metaphor (painter's palette in short form) and draws implications of this for tailoring tools in end user development (EUD) environments. A goal is to make tailoring available in the use context. The painters' palette has been extensively used as metaphor for computer applications (e.g. MacPaint and MS Word to name a few), but it has not yet been widely adopted in EUD. Many end-user development environments adopt a metaphor from systems development inherited from programming languages and compilers (edit-compile-debug model). Although high-level and visual languages have been proposed, such as the spreadsheet formula language and visual condition-action rules, these languages require the users to think in terms of programming abstractions (i.e. conditionals, loops, repetition). An alternative model for EUD, the components approach, is advocated in this paper. The components approach allows applications to be built by direct manipulation of visual components: selecting and connecting components by drag and drop techniques. In these environments the composition editor has replaced the language editor as the main tool for development. Tailoring is suggested as a technique for supporting variability (modification and alternative ways of seeing functionality) within the context of a selection-connection-modification cycle (Mørch, 2002). |
