Model Driven Development for the Internet of Things

Abstract

[EN] The Internet of Things vision is about reducing the gap between the physical and the digital world to make daily activities more fluent. By providing a digital identity to real-world objects, Information Systems can handle them in an automatic way. This enables physical objects to participate actively in business processes. In such systems, the technological heterogeneity in Auto-ID and the fast-changing requirements of business processes hinders their construction, maintenance and evolution. This paper shows how the Model Driven Development can help to systematize the development of business process-supporting systems that integrate physical elements.
