The objective of this research is to significantly improve end-user customization by the development of new design processes and technical models within human-computer interaction (HCI) and interaction design. Modular design strategies underpin almost all customization approaches today and there is a need to push beyond and revise these strategies or develop new ones. We propose to leverage existing practices like modularity and end-user development (EUD), as well as emerging end-user practices like toolkits, do-it-yourself (DIY), and appropriation to overcome current limits. The promise of this research is that end-user customization can be significantly improved upon by the development of new design processes and technical models. The anticipated path to this contribution is a substantial revision or replacement of modular design as a design strategy. Improvements in end-user customization and appropriation will lead to optimized and situated use of interaction design artifacts and systems that will have the capacity to adapt over time addressing changing needs and contexts as directed by end-users. The work will establish the degree to which modularity is indeed a limiter to appropriation and specify what aspects in particular are problematic. The work will also establish more systematically the benefits and value of emergent end-user practices of DIY, toolkits and appropriation for designers and developers. The contributions will include design methods and technical framework guidance for interaction design and HCI professionals in designing for appropriation, plus digital technology prototypes that allow for extended customizations that have the potential to be appropriated by end-users.

这项研究的目的是通过在人机交互（HCI）和交互设计中开发新的设计流程和技术模型来显着改善最终用户的定制。模块化设计策略支撑着当今几乎所有定制方法，并且需要超越和修改这些策略或开发新的策略。我们建议利用模块化和最终用户开发 (EUD) 等现有实践，以及工具包、DIY (DIY) 和拨款等新兴最终用户实践来克服当前限制。这项研究的承诺是，通过开发新的设计流程和技术模型，可以显着改进最终用户的定制。实现这一贡献的预期途径是对模块化设计作为设计策略进行实质性修改或替换。最终用户定制和占用的改进将导致交互设计工件和系统的优化和定位使用，这些工​​件和系统将有能力随着时间的推移进行适应，以满足最终用户指示的不断变化的需求和环境。这项工作将确定模块化在多大程度上确实限制了拨款，并明确哪些方面特别有问题。这项工作还将更系统地确定 DIY、工具包以及设计师和开发人员拨款的新兴最终用户实践的好处和价值。这些贡献将包括交互设计和 HCI 专业人员在设计中的设计方法和技术框架指南，以及允许最终用户使用的扩展定制的数字技术原型。
