Weaving Rules into [email protected] for Embedded Smart Systems
Smart systems are characterised by their ability to analyse measured data in
live and to react to changes according to expert rules. Therefore, such systems
exploit appropriate data models together with actions, triggered by
domain-related conditions. The challenge at hand is that smart systems usually
need to process thousands of updates to detect which rules need to be
triggered, often even on restricted hardware like a Raspberry Pi. Despite
various approaches have been investigated to efficiently check conditions on
data models, they either assume to fit into main memory or rely on high latency
persistence storage systems that severely damage the reactivity of smart
systems. To tackle this challenge, we propose a novel composition process,
which weaves executable rules into a data model with lazy loading abilities. We
quantitatively show, on a smart building case study, that our approach can
handle, at low latency, big sets of rules on top of large-scale data models on
restricted hardware.Comment: pre-print version, published in the proceedings of MOMO-17 Worksho
MONDO : Scalable modelling and model management on the Cloud
Achieving scalability in modelling and MDE involves being able to construct large models and domain-specific languages in a systematic manner, enabling teams of modellers to construct and refine large models in collaboration, advancing the state of the art in model querying and transformations tools so that they can cope with large models (of the scale of millions of model elements), and providing an infrastructure for efficient storage, indexing and retrieval of large models. This paper outlines how MONDO, a collaborative EC-funded project, has contributed to tackling some of these scalability-related challenges
A Time-Triggered Constraint-Based Calculus for Avionic Systems
The Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) architec- ture and the Time-Triggered
Ethernet (TTEthernet) network have emerged as the key components of a typical
architecture model for recent civil aircrafts. We propose a real-time
constraint-based calculus targeted at the analysis of such concepts of avionic
embedded systems. We show our framework at work on the modelisation of both the
(IMA) architecture and the TTEthernet network, illustrating their behavior by
the well-known Flight Management System (FMS)

Towards Scalable Multidimensional Execution Traces for xDSMLs
International audienceExecutable Domain Specific Modeling Languages (xDSML) opens many possibilities in terms of early verification and validation (V&V) of systems, including the use of dynamic V&V approaches. Such approaches rely on the notion of execution trace, i.e. the evolution of a system during a run. To benefit from dynamic V&V approaches, it is therefore necessary to characterize what is the structure of the executions traces of a given xDSML. Our goal is to provide an approach to design trace metamodels for xDSMLs. We identify seven problems that must be considered when modeling execution traces, including concurrency, modularity, and scalability. Then we present our envisioned approach to design scalable multidimensional trace metamodels for xDSMLs. Our work in progress relies on the dimensions of a trace (i.e. subsets of mu- table elements of the traced model) to provide an original structure that faces the identified problems, along with a trace API to manipulate them
Towards verified Java code generation from concurrent state machines
We present work in progress on, verified, transformation of a modeling language based on communicating concurrent state machines, SLCO, to Java. Some concurrency related challenges, related to atomicity and non-standard fairness issues, are pointed out. We discuss solutions based on Java synchronization concepts
An automated model based approach to mobile UI specification and development
One of the problems of current software development lies on the existence of solutions to address properly the code portability for the increasing number of platforms. To build abstract models is one efficient and correct way to achieve this. The Model-Driven Software Engineering (MDSE) is a development methodology where models are the key for all project lifecycle, from requisites gathering, through modelling and to the development stage, as well as on testing. Pervasive computing demands the use of several technical specifications, such as wireless connections, advanced electronics, and the Internet, as well as it stresses the need to adjust the user interface layer to each one of the platforms. Using a model-driven approach it is possible to reuse software solutions between different targets, since models are not affected by the device diversity and its evolution.
This paper reports on a tool, which is highly parameterizable and driven to support Model-2-Model and Model-2-Code transformations. Also, instead of using a predefined technology, the tool was built to be scalable and extensible for many different targets and also by addressing the user interface layer generation.This work is ïŹnanced by the ERDF ?
