Ubiquitous computing environments consist of numerous interacting components, many of which have been developed in isolation from each other. Unless appropriate measures are taken, interference (where a component's behavior in a deployed system differs from its behavior when in isolation) is likely to be commonplace. In this paper we explore the importance of this problem and present our work-in-progress on a framework that enables designers, developers, and researchers to describe and thus reason about interference in ubicomp environments.
