Human behavior and housing resist every standardization effort. Many aspects such as different technical equipment, furniture, and usage patterns make our surroundings as individual as ourselves. Thus, the personalization of pervasive applications is a fundamental requirement. To enable the development of custom pervasive applications, we propose a software development process. This process is based on the successful process for modern desktop applications. There, developers create extensible applications and components. Customizers use the resulting artifacts to develop custom applications. Finally, users configure applications to their individual needs by adjusting predefined settings. To adopt this process for pervasive computing, we present a component system for developers, a graphical toolkit for customizers, and self-configuration algorithms to ease the deployment.
