Notes:
This is called generative programming, and it is quite different from current practice. The SME's gain direct access to the portal using a very fancy editing tool that is like a supercharged PowerPoint or one of the CAD tools that are used so successfully in the manufacturing industries. Because the SME's are not programmers we do not ask them to write programs. They simply have to enter their problem using the terms of their own domain, their own notation. So we are not talking about end-user-programming; we are not asking the hospital administrators to learn Smalltalk or Java so that they can implement their concerns and administrative processes in some magic computer language.
