BILROST: Handling Actuators of the Internet of Things through Tweets on Twitter using a Domain- Specific Language

In recent years, many investigations have appeared that combine the Internet of Things and Social Networks. Some of them addressed the interconnection of objects as Social Networks interconnect people, and others addressed the connection between objects and people. However, they usually used interfaces created for that purpose instead of using familiar interfaces for users. Why not integrate Smart Objects in traditional Social Networks? Why not control Smart Objects through natural interactions in Social Networks? The goal of this paper is to make easier to create applications that allow non-experts users to control Smart Objects actuators through Social Networks through the proposal of a novel approach to connect objects and people using Social Networks. This proposal will address how to use Twitter so that objects could perform actions based on Twitter users’ posts. Moreover, it will be presented a Domain-Specific language that could help in the task of defining the actions that objects could perform when people publish specific content on Twitter

AdaptiveSystems: an integrated framework for adaptive systems design and development using MPS JetBrains domain-specific modelling environment

This paper contains the design and development of an adaptive systems (AdaptiveSystems Domain-Specific Language - DSL) framework to assist language developers and data scientists in their attempt to apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms in several application domains. Big-data processing and AI algorithms are at the heart of autonomics research groups among industry and academia. Major advances in the field have traditionally focused on algorithmic research and increasing the performance of the developed algorithms. However, it has been recently recognized by the AI community that the applicability of these algorithms and their consideration in context is of paramount importance for their adoption. Current approaches to address AI in context lie in two areas: adaptive systems research that mainly focuses on implementing adaptivity mechanisms (technical perspective) and AI in context research that focuses on business aspects (business perspective). There is currently no approach that combines all aspects required from business considerations to appropriate level of abstraction. In this paper, we attempt to address the problem of designing adaptive systems and therefore providing AI in context by utilising DSL technology. We propose a new DSL (AdaptiveSystems) and a methodology to apply this to the creation of a DSL for specific application domains such as AdaptiveVLE (Adaptive Virtual Learning Environment) DSL. The language developer will be able to instantiate the AdaptiveSystems DSL to any application domain by using the guidelines in this paper with an integrated path from design to implementation. The domain expert will then be able to use the developed DSL (e.g. AdaptiveVLE DSL) to design and develop their application. Future work will include extension and experimentation of the applicability of this work to more application domains within British Telecom (BT) and other areas such as health care, finance, etc
