End User Computing (EUC) is a group of approaches to computing that aim at better integrating end users into the computing environment or that attempt to realize the potential for high-end computing to perform in a trustworthy manner in problem solving of the highest order. [1] [2] [3] The EUC Ranges section describes two types of approaches that are at different ends of a spectrum. A simple example of these two extremes can use the SQL context. The first approach would have canned queries and reports that for the most part would be invoked with buttons and/or simple commands. In this approach, a computing group would keep these canned routines up to date through the normal development/maintenance methods. For the second approach, SQL administration would allow for end-user involvement at several levels including administration itself.
