Towards the Involvement of End-Users within Model-Driven Development

The models that guide the development of software systems Model-Driven Development (MDD) are usually conceived to be used by software professional developers and they are quite difficult to be understood by end-users. In this work, we propose a method that improves the involvement of end-users within MDD approaches. Furthermore, we present an example of how each step of the method is applied to involve end-users within an existing MDD approach for developing smart homes.
