Cover Story: Pervasive environments are typically characterized by numerous interconnected smart objects and applications or services that aim to assist users in performing tasks. As manual configuration is often time-consuming, an automatic connection of components may represent a useful tool, which should take various aspects into account. While dynamically connecting these components allows for solutions tailored to the needs and respective tasks of a user, it obfuscates handling and ultimately may decrease usability. Based on previous research in the context of self-explainability of smart objects, we propose an approach that features self-organization and self-explainability in pervasive environments to tackle these issues.
