Abstract: When business software fails to provide the desired functionality, users typically turn to spreadsheets to perform simple but general computational tasks. However, spreadsheets enforce a view of the world that consists mostly of tables and numbers rather than the domain concepts users have in mind. We are using wikis as a platform for empowering end-users to perform computational tasks of their choice. This paper discusses how core properties of wikis can support end-user programming. We illustrate our approach using wiki prototype software for working with business objects as made available by SAP’s business application suite.

I would like to ask to : The source code of the project is available?
( open source ? )
thanks,
Imre
Hi Imre, this work was done at SAP; it was a prototype. It is unfortunately not available as open source software, but honestly, I don’t think it would be very useful if it was %-) Best, Dirk
Hi Dirk!
Thank you for the answer,
Imre
// I like this idea !
We are continuing this idea in a new project called Sweble that my research group is undertaking, see http://sweble.org
Thank you!
I will check http://sweble.org …
