在本文中，我们提出了一个新的概念框架的设计和不断发展的周围智能环境。该框架是沿着沿着三个层-物理，推理和用户层-共享事件，条件和动作的信息空间。特别是，最终用户开发的方法，提倡用户层，以支持规则的设计和开发。在这个阶段的研究议程，我们正在调查可能是最合适的交互风格的规则设计：事实上，它应该与底层的分布式推理层兼容，并易于使用的最终用户的社区（例如，一个家庭）。为此，本文提出了一种用户研究，探讨最终用户开发任务的智能家居和比较两个著名的系统，在这些活动中支持最终用户。研究结果为进一步实施我们的框架提供了一些指示。
In this paper we propose a novel conceptual framework for the design and continuous evolution of ambient intelligence environments. This framework is structured along three layers - physical, inference and user layer - sharing an information space of events, conditions and actions. In particular, an end-user development approach is advocated for the user layer to support rule design and development. At this stage of the research agenda, we are investigating which could be the most suitable interaction style for rule design: indeed, it should be compatible with the underlying distributed inference layer and easy to use by a community of end users (e.g. a family). To this aim, this paper presents a user study that explores end-user development tasks for a smart home and compares two well-known systems in supporting end users in these activities. The results of the study have provided some indications for the further implementation of our framework.
