ABSTRACT = {Within an increasing number of domains an important emerging need
is the ability for technically naive users to compose computational elements into
novel configurations. Examples include astronomers who create new analysis
pipelines to process telescopic data, intelligence analysts who must process diverse
sources of unstructured text to discover socio-technical trends, and medical
researchers who have to process brain image data in new ways to understand
disease pathways. Creating such compositions today typically requires low-level
technical expertise, limiting the use of computational methods and increasing the
cost of using them. In this paper we describe an approach -- which we term
end-user architecting -- that exploits the similarity between such compositional
activities and those of software architects. Drawing on the rich heritage of software
architecture languages, methods, and tools, we show how those techniques
can be adapted to support end users in composing rich computational systems
through domain-specific compositional paradigms and component repositories,
without requiring that they have knowledge of the low-level implementation details
of the components or the compositional infrastructure. Further, we outline a
set of open research challenges that the area of end-user architecting raises.},
