Implementing a Pervasive Meeting Room: A Model Driven Approach

Abstract

Current pervasive systems are developed ad-hoc or using implementation frameworks. These approaches could be not enough when dealing with large and complex pervasive systems. This paper introduces an implementation of a pervasive system for managing a meeting room. This system has been developed using a model driven method proposed by the authors. The system is specified using PervML, a UML-like modeling language. Then, a set of templates are applied to the specification in order to automatically produce Java code that uses an OSGi-based framework. The final application integrates several technologies like EIB and Web Services. Three different user interfaces are provided for interacting with the system.
