A semiotic approach to end-user development in the Internet of things

With this paper we describe the ongoing research we are developing in the Inter-net of Things (IoT) domain. The description of IoT as an ecosystem of objects and services highlights the central role of the end user in extracting, merging, ana-lyzing, visualizing, and sharing data. We also provide a discussion of data under different perspectives to underline how promising the IoT field is in terms of possibilities for End-User Development activities with a specific focus on the semiotic approach we use in our research.
