“…The objective of the end-user programming methods is to bridge the gap between usage and programming of an application [8,9] and often these methods focus more on reusing of legacy software than creating new software components or source code. For example, the simplicity, support for immediate feedback and avoidance of misleading appearances are important in end-user programming tools [10].…”

Cross-smart space applications are specific types of software services that enable users to share information, monitor the physical and logical surroundings and control it in a way that is meaningful for the user's situation. For developing cross-smart space applications, this paper makes two main contributions: it introduces (i) a component design and scripting method for end-user programming of cross-smart space applications and (ii) a backend framework of components that interwork to support the brunt of the RDFScript translation, and the use and execution of ontology models. Before end-user programming activities, the software professionals must develop easy-to-apply Driver components for the APIs of existing software systems. Thereafter, end-users are able to create applications from the commands of the Driver components with the help of the provided toolset. The paper also introduces the reference implementation of the framework, tools for the Driver component development and end-user programming of cross-smart space applications and the first evaluation results on their application.

“…Intermediate techniques, such as parameterization (end-user customization) and integration of high-level building blocks were suggested to bridge the gap between use and programming. Two techniques we have experimented with are direct activation [9] and different levels of tailoring [5]. Direct activation means that tailoring functionality should be accessible from the use context when the need for tailoring occurs (see Figure 1 for an example).…”

“…Two problems in the design and deployment of multimedia applications are the need to essentially %edesign the wheel" for each application (lack of design-time flexibility), and the lack of good tools allowing for user-customization (lack of run-time flexibility) [9]. In this paper we discuss a general methodology for tackling these issues.…”

Two problems in the design and deployment of multimedia applications are the lack of design-time and run-time flexibility.In this paper we discuss a general methodology for tackling these issues. The work presented here is an extension of the AlphaOmega framework of [4]. In that framework we showed how the intuitive notion of an object representkng its properties and capabilities to other objects differentially could be exploited to provide a powerful but easy way to change the behavior and interfaces of an application, dynamically if desired. In this paper, we develop a formal approach to the basic principles of the AlphaOmega framework.This leads to the definition of a formal system called the ow-calculus.The aw-calculus identifies a set of programming language abstractions that can be consistently added to any object-oriented language. While the calculus captures the intuitive notions underlying the AlphaOmega framework, it also goes beyond the original framework in power and flexibility.We demonstrate the generality of our approach by working with an example that shows how it provides unifying abstractions for such seemingly diverse domains as interactive distance learning and various issues in the area of multimedia documents.

Tailoring Tools for System Development

Abstract: into the generic application BasicDraw. BasicDraw has been tailored by the author to develop specialized applications. An example of this is given. Finally, the usability of the tailoring tools has been studied in an informal user experiment. Results from the experiment are reported.
