The goal of the workshop is to showcase the latest developments methods and techniques in the field of No-Code software.

Papers are expected on topics including, but not limited to:
• No-Code tools
• Development of No-Code software
• Automation using No-Code tools
• User Experience (UX) research for No-Code tools
• AI-assisted development
• Market research, projections, and predictions
• Literature reviews on No-Code
• Case studies of No-Code businesses
• Visions of the future of No-Code
• Open Source for No-Code tools

The workshop is oriented towards the practical and concrete application and development of No-Code tools. Nevertheless, theoretical research is welcome.
