Abstract :
As networked devices become increasingly ubiquitous, the potential benefits to users increase exponentially. However, this potential can´t be fully realized if it is entirely up to developers and manufacturers to expose the combined functionality buried in the expanding network. Recipes for digital living - created and modified by users themselves - offer an easy-to-understand, logically consistent way to capture and share the various ensembles possible in the expanding world of networked components.
