You can use

• libusb - to scan the USB devices
• libudev - to monitor devices
• or add a rule to udev to monitor insertion/removal of devices
• Work with USB HID programming
• Or use the HAL Daemon ( ed: it seems this one is now an zombie, see:comments )

http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8093 - A small overview about the linux USB system.

A library to communicate with the USB devices: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb/

I think you should start by analysing libudev.
