Title
Early lessons from the development of SPOK, an end-user development environment for smart homes
Abstract
This paper presents early lessons from the development of SPOK, an End-User Development Environment for smart homes. SPOK (Simple PrOgramming Kit) uses a pseudo-natural language as an end-user programming language and runs on top of an extension of OSGi/iPOJO to support the dynamic and resilient management of web services and devices from a variety of protocols including EnOcean, UPnP, and Watteco. The motivation for SPOK is to give the power back to end-users so that they can shape their own smart home at will. This paper reports lessons learned from the methods we have used to validate our hypotheses as well as a number of technical issues concerning development of this type of EUDE. A Video of SPOK in action as of October 2013 is accessible at: http://iihm.imag.fr/demos/appsgate/appsgate2013.mp4
