Abstract :
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a large-scale complex networked cyber physical system in which the Smart Objects (SOs) will be the fundamental building blocks. Although, many research efforts in the IoT realm have been to date devoted to device, networking and application service perspectives, software engineering approaches for the development of IoT systems are still in their infancy. This paper introduces a novel software engineering approach aiming to support a systematic development of SOs-based systems. The proposed approach is based on metamodels that are defined at different levels of abstraction to support the development phases of analysis, design and implementation. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated through a simple yet effective case study, showing the development of a smart office SO from the high-level design to its agent-based implementation.
