Tangible and Screen-Based Interfaces for End-User Workflow Modeling

Bridging the gap between business needs and IT solutions is a major challenge in service-oriented computing, and recent research emphasizes the importance of including end users in service-based application development. An analysis of two different approaches - tangible and screen-based versions of tools - demonstrates how users can participate in the development of technical workflow models based on their perception of business processes.
