User Driven Modelling
http://userdrivenmodelling.blogspot.com/
This blog is about my PhD research at University of the West of England into User Driven Modelling. This is a step towards a final aim of User Driven Programming. This is to make it possible for people who are not programmers to create software themselves. My web site contains examples and explanations of this research.
