An End-User Programming Paradigm for Pervasive Computing Applications

In this paper we present a variant of end-user programming called PiP (pervasive interactive programming) which offers non-technical end-users the possibility to configure and customize sets of coordinating pervasive devises without the need to employ conventional programming methods. In this approach end-users "show" the system their required behaviour via natural physical interaction with the environment. The paper also describes the architectural components and presents a user evaluation
