Abstract

Exploitational Interaction is an accessibility and control paradigm to allow individuals to make full use of the technologies around them, to exploit their combination and possibilities and adapt and shape their surroundings to their benefit. Focusing on programming personal environments as a pushing problem for the future home and facing the challenge presented by the diversity of elements, users, needs and skills, this paper proposes a new way of designing programming systems to balance control and accessibility according to the user’s needs and skills. Articulated along simplification, modularization and reutilization we present a rule–based language and multi–agent programming system for Exploitational Interaction, analyzing the most significant experiences and results of this five year project.
