FTG plus PM for the Model-Driven Development of Wireless Sensor Network based IoT Systems

In recent years, various concepts, methodologies, and tools have emerged to tackle complexity of multi-paradigm systems using model-driven engineering (MDE) to improve usability, precision and automation of these systems. Multi-paradigm modelling (MPM) has been proposed to advocate the explicit modelling of all pertinent parts and aspects of these complex systems. Current modelling, analysis and simulation tools have limited capabilities to describe the engineering process that benefit from multi-paradigm approach. FTG+PM has been proposed as a basis for unifying key MDE practices, namely multi-paradigm modelling, meta-modelling, and model transformation. It enables the MDE lifecycle of these complex systems, including activities such as requirements development, domain-specific design, verification, simulation, analysis, calibration, deployment, code generation and execution, to be represented. In this exemplar paper, we apply the FTG+PM approach to the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) based Internet of Things (IoT) domain and we describe the MDE process for developing applications for different platforms or operating systems.
