User Driven Modelling

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. I create software that converts visual trees into computer code. I would welcome any comments and contributions. My web site is at http://www.cems.uwe.ac.uk/~phale/.

: Name: Peter Hale; Location: Bristol, England, United Kingdom

I've submitted my PhD in User Driven Programming, and continued this while my work environment changed. Previously I retrained from clerical work to engineering and computing, and developed advanced skills and experience in this through vocational and higher education. I worked for 10 years as a researcher at University of the West of England. I researched difficult problems, and helped gain funding for such research, and have written funding proposals. I'm very thorough and consistent, resolute, determined, am diplomatic, and have relevant skills for analysing research questions, and presenting findings. My home page is http://sites.google.com/site/userdrivenmodellingprogramming/Home. I devise ways for users to create software, to achieve this I apply Semantic Web techniques. I enable non-programmers to create software from a user interface that allows them to model a particular problem or scenario. I develop ways of translating this information into program code. This is useful for employees that have insufficient time to learn programming languages. This makes it easier for software systems to manage and enable sharing of information and programs people create.
