“…It is the synergy between the involved elements in the process which is likely to bring the most significant benefits of reuse in MDD. The factor of usability of the DSL graphical syntax has also been tested with very promising results as detailed in Jiménez et al (2009). Our work is now focused on the consideration of other execution platforms and the interoperability of our framework with other tools (such as an animator to validate the models before final deployment).…”

a b s t r a c tThis article presents an integrated framework for the development of home automation systems following the model-driven approach. By executing model transformations the environment allows developers to generate executable code for specific platforms. The tools presented in this work help developers to model home automation systems by means of a domain specific language which is later transformed into code for home automation specific platforms. These transformations have been defined by means of graph grammars and template engines extended with traceability capabilities. Our framework also allows the models to be reused for different applications since a catalogue of requirements is provided. This framework enables the development of home automation applications with techniques for improving the quality of both the process and the models obtained. In order to evaluate the benefits of the approach, we conducted a survey among developers that used the framework. The analysis of the outcome of this survey shows which conditions should be fulfilled in order to increase reusability.

“…For example, following this line, some research works have investigated the use of low-energy devices in order to display information in different scenarios such as supermarkets, production systems, or hospitals [9,10]. e basic idea is to employ new, open, and more efficient technologies such as the electronic ink in order to improve the current automatic industrial systems based on proprietary technologies [11,12], programmable logic controller (PLC) [13,14], and very lowlevel protocols such as OPC (Object Linking and Embedding for Process Control) [15].…”

A prototype to improve learning tasks for mentally handicapped people is shown in this research paper using ambient intelligence techniques and based on cyber-physical systems. e whole system is composed of a worktable, a cyber-glove (both with several RFID and NFC detection zones), and an AmI software application for modeling and workflow guidance. A case study was carried out by the authors where sixteen mentally handicapped people and 3 trainers were involved in the experiment. e experiment consisted in the execution of several memorization tasks of movements of objects using the approach presented in this paper. e results obtained were very interesting, indicating that this kind of solutions are feasible and allow the learning of complex tasks to some types of mentally handicapped people. In addition, at the end of the paper are presented some lessons learned after performing the experimentation.

It is widely acknowledged that Automated Demand Response (ADR) is a key factor for the success of the Smart Grid. However, for ADR to be realized to its full extent a new generation of Building Automation Systems (BASs) will have to be developed and the existing upgraded to leverage dynamic tariff plans and curtailment calls sent from the grid. It is well known that developing BASs is an involved matter, mostly because application software is costly to develop and maintain. In practice, this state of affairs is slowing the rise of innovative solutions for ADR.In recent years, software engineering practices such as ModelDriven Engineering have been proposed as a means to alleviate the problem of developing BASs, which we believe should be presented to the Smart Grid community. This article presents the main challenges of creating software for BASs (from a modelling perspective), overviews the state-of-the-art and presents an outlook on possible model-driven engineering techniques that can be effectively applied to significantly improve the development of BASs in the near future.
