Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to computer-implemented methods and systems for representing human or machine-controllable sources, including, but not limited to, cloud services and smart devices, with a Semantic Interface Definition Language (SIDL) so that such resources can be listened to and eventually remote-controlled by discovering and performing Situationally Suitable Actions (SSA). Embodiments of the present invention are further directed to a novel user experience that allows sources to augment each other, removing the need to switch back and forth from different user interfaces (UIs) and overall facilitating or automating the execution of chains of commands.
