Abstract
Trigger-Action programming is emerging as an expressive and effective approach when customizing services and applications that have to react to several dynamic events. Recent research efforts aim to overcome some limitations of existing commercial tools in supporting editing of personalization rules. However, they have often been applied and assessed in laboratories. In this work we report on how a personalization platform has been applied to an application controlling the home of a group of students. The home has been equipped with various appliances and sensors accessible through an Arduino board. The personalization platform has been customized to integrate with the home application through a context manager middleware. The resulting personalization tool and the home application have been used and assessed by the students living in the home and various colleagues and friends without programming experience.
