ABSTRACT
This paper proposes the idea of providing artifacts with specifications of their situation transforming behaviour. Such specifications can be created by designers (and so would come together with the artifact on purchase) or end-users to implement smart things that transform their environment in meaningful ways. The specifications are based on situation semantics first developed for studies in linguistics.

Ontology-based situation awareness
The notions of ''situation'' and ''situation awareness'' have been formulated by many authors in various contexts. In this paper, we present a formalization of situations that is compatible with the interpretation of situation awareness in terms of ...
A UTP semantics for Circus
AbstractCircus specifications define both data and behavioural aspects of systems using a combination of Z and CSP constructs. Previously, a denotational semantics has been given to Circus; however, a shallow embedding of Circus in Z, in which the mapping ...
