As the interest of intelligent/smart devices in growing in society, this paper explores the concept of agency in human-smart device relationships, focusing on two key aspects: The study introduces four agency profiles that characterize different types of human-smart device relationships: Figure below presents an intuitive idea of the research: The researcher is validated by conducting…
Human-computer interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary field that explores the interaction between humans and computers, emphasizing especially the design and use of computer technology. Within this domain, the notion of sense of agency, usually defined as the users perceiving their actions as influencing the system, is of crucial importance. Another central notion is that of…
The topic of human and smart device interaction touches everybody in their everyday life. Why do you like a particular smart device? Why do you choose that particular object? At a first look these questions look really obvious, to the point that they do not really need to be answered. However, “the obvious” is what…

Even though Web mashups provide access to Web APIs, they ignore domain-specific programming needs. On the other hand, developing domain-specific languages (DSLs) is costly and not…
