Abstract :
ScatterClipse is a generative plugin-oriented tool-chain for the model-driven development of the applications running on the sensor boards of our WSN-platform ScatterWeb. The goal is the furthermost automated and standardized generation of software system families for the ScatterWeb sensor boards. The ScatterClipse´s novel approach lies in the accomplishment of the integration of visual automated application debugging and WSN-management features in the model-driven software development process of the deployed sensor boards. Furthermore the just-in-time model validation makes a large contribution towards robustness by discovering certain bugs early on, which, if manually implemented, would only be discovered very late in the process. The plugin-oriented open architecture eases the appropriate enhancement of our opensource tool-chain in response to newly arisen questions regarding WSN.
