Abstract

Interactive ICT products falling under the umbrella of the 3rd paradigm of the HCI are posing significant challenges to designers. Context—and the way in which it has to be conceptually and epistemologically addressed—is one of the issues central in the general debate around ubiquitous computing and phenomenologically situated interaction: context strays from being yet another non-technological aspect affecting the design to become a central component not separable from activities carried on by means of the interactive application. This paper addresses design issues related to this debate within the case-study of the exploration of a dynamically changing territory upon occurrence of some kind of catastrophic event (e.g. earthquake, fire, flooding), by proposing a logic-based multiagent-oriented framework allowing affordable and flexible planning capabilities, in which dynamic knowledge on environment and activity plans are seamlessly integrated.
