Abstract

In this paper, we present a high-level graphical language to develop pervasive applications based on a unique interface design. The language supports a wide range of programming constructs. Its graphical notation is based on the LCARS design, which is appealing to different target groups, based on their specific interests and requirements. We show that users can easily create pervasive applications using an LCARS-based user interface. The first step is to describe the technical context in which the application will execute. Based on this technical context, the UI offers a context-specific set of visual primitives. By composing these visual primitives on the screen, the user can specify the behavior of the application.
