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.
