Abstract :
The automatic generation of software using the object-oriented approach and integrating expert systems is demonstrated. The resulting system allows disabled persons to communicate with the physical and material environment. Prototyping allows a progressive adaptation to the communicator. In the first step, a simple communicator that permits the disabled person to do his or her first exercises is prototyped. The prototype evolves according to the progress of the disabled person. The Smalltalk language is used
