“…MARTE supports only solar energy harvesting that is limited to outdoor applications with sufficient sunlight. In this context, new extensions of the MARTE profile were proposed in a previous work [10] to support other unlimited WSNs energy-harvesting techniques. These proposed extensions are used in this paper to evaluate the WSN performance analysis.…”

“…We furthermore introduce a framework that permits us to describe and simulate an energy-harvesting sensor node by using a high-level modeling approach based on the UML/MARTE profile in order to verify nonfunctional properties and evaluate the WSN's performances (power consumption and time constraints). The described models use new extensions of the MARTE profile for energy-harvesting techniques proposed in a previous work [10]. In this previous work, we proposed a generic model for energyharvesting devices through MARTE extensions.…”

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) comprise resource-constrained (e.g., memory, processing, and energy) sensor nodes that are deployed in different areas and are able to monitor environmental conditions. Simulation has been widely used in order to evaluate the network performance. In this context, software designers need to evaluate, refine, and validate high-level models for WSN applications at early stages of development via simulation tools, in particular for WSN applications supporting energy-harvesting devices. In the present paper, we propose a model-based transformation framework that allows the modeling and simulation of a WSN system supporting energy-harvesting capabilities. In this proposal, we start from a high-level specification based on the UML/MARTE profile, which describes an energyharvesting WSN node. Then a model-to-text (M2T) transformation allows us to generate simulation scripts for analysis purposes by focusing on energy consumption.
