“…Hence, to ensure a flawlessly long-termed maintenance, users must be capable of building their own games, or managing them at some certain level, instead of relying merely on any game programmers. In this regard, the end-user programming approach [2] looks promising, but it must be equipped with some powerful development platform for non-programmers.…”

“…b) I/O service has a function of handling Input and Output signals from peripheral hardware. However, instead of having direct connections, these signals are pre-managed and relayed for serial transmission over a USB link by a microcontroller in Arduino board 2 . By exploiting this popular and low-cost controller board, the "separation of concern" principle for software implementation can be realized in our system.…”

Abstract-Computer-exercise game is well served for visually impaired students to engage their physical and mental health exercises. However, these type of games are increasingly unchallenged for long-term usage due to apathy patterns and restricted contents. In this paper, we describe how such drawbacks can be avoided by offering the game development platform. The platform provides a service-based architecture, which empowers teachers to build or to customize numerous game designs for entertainment and learning purpose without jeopardy. Based on our evaluation study, we found evidence that teachers of visually impaired students are satisfied with the game development approach in terms of system reliability and software usability. In addition, the teachers also have very good perception in the aspects of trust, responsiveness, applicability, usefulness and enthusiasm toward the game development approach.Index Terms-Empowering users, active game, game development platform, service-based architecture, visually impaired students.

“…These problems have been addressed with different kinds of EUD techniques (Paternò, 2013). Because there is always some effort to learn a EUD technique, the users' motivation depends on their confidence that it will empower their work, save time on the job or raise productivity.…”

“…A partir disso, nós passamos a considerar o contexto de EUD (Lieberman, et al, 2006) (Paternò, 2013), mais especificamente a abordagem de Meta-Design (Fischer, 2013) (Braz et al, 2014).…”

“…Nesse contexto, consideramos a área de End User Development (EUD) (Lieberman et al, 2006) (Paternò, 2013) promissora para esse domínio por oferecer um conjunto de técnicas e métodos para a criação, modificação ou extensão de artefatos de software. Isso porque a frequente falta de flexibilidade dos artefatos encontrados na literatura indica que é importante compartilhar com os terapeutas (usuários) uma parte do design, restrita ao contexto e conhecimento deles.…”

Braz, Priscilla Fonseca de Abreu; Raposo, Alberto Barbosa (Advisor); de Souza; Clarisse Sieckenius (Co-advisor Thus, it is essential to develop more flexible technologies that meet the needs of each individual with ASD. Moreover, the literature presents specific reports (of success or failure) about the developed technologies, but there is no organization of the domain. Therefore, we consider that there is a gap regarding the problem characterization in this area, and it is important to explore the problem space before proposing new solutions. There are several challenges related to the adoption of technologies for generating adaptable software by ASD therapists, such as the lack or little knowledge of the therapists about this kind of technology, the limited time for learning and using these technologies and even the lack of interest. We conducted studies in order to explore the problem space in the context of the End User Development (EUD) and to raise the main meanings, questions and difficulties of the therapists related to adaptable and/or extensible technologies and they showed us that the use of the design probes concept was essential for the approximation of the therapists with such technology type and a deepening understanding of their own difficulties and needs, and the challenges placed in this context. Moreover, these studies have allowed us to raise a set of possible changes and adaptations that a technology targeted for this audience could do in order to address the needs of therapists and their patients. From this achieved set, we have analyzed these possible changes based on the Semiotic Engineering theory for EUD context and we have investigated how existing technologies enable or not these kinds of changes. Thus, this research has enabled us to identify the ASD domain as an EUD application area with several challenges, to analyze them in greater depth and to identify possible ways to overcome them, PUC-Rio -Certificação Digital Nº 1121805/CA contributing to the design of technologies for the ASD audience.
