This technical report presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) study that focuses on identifying and classifying the recent research practices pertaining to CPS development through MDE approaches. The study evaluates 140 research papers published during 2010-2018. Accordingly, a comprehensive analysis of various MDE approaches used in the development life-cycle of CPS is presented. Furthermore, the study identifies the research gaps and areas that need more investigation. The contribution helps researchers and practitioners to get an overall understanding of the research trends and existing challenges for further research/development.

“…In [12], the authors propose an extension of the Smart Environments Metamodel (SEM) framework for the development of a smart office application devoted to recognize and predict some simple workers' activities. However, the applicability of the presented metamodel is very limited and lacks the necessary concepts and relationships that could be re-used or scaled up for other smart environments.…”

Big Data Management and Analytics Metamodel for IoT-Enabled Smart Buildings

Big data management and analytics, in the context of IoT (Internet of Things)-enabled smart buildings, is a challenging task. It is a diffused and complex area of knowledge due to the diversity of IoT devices and the nature of data generated by the IoT devices. Many international bodies have developed metamodels for IoT-enabled ecosystems to allow knowledge sharing. However, these are often narrow in focus and deal with only the IoT aspects without taking into account the management and analytics of big data generated by the IoT devices. Hence, in this paper we propose a metamodel for the Integrated Big Data Management and Analytics (IBDMA) framework for IoT-enabled smart buildings. The IBDMA Metamodel can be used to facilitate interoperability between existing big data management and analytics ecosystems deployed in smart buildings or other smart environments. We import the metamodel into a knowledge graph management tool and by considering a case study we validate the metamodel using this tool. The evaluation results demonstrate that IBDMA Metamodel is indeed suitable for its intended purpose.

“…The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a new paradigm where the software systems are no longer limited to computers but to a great variety of different connected objects, or specific users' goals and closed environments. The interaction between humans and the cyber-physical world is changing since software can be deployed everywhere and in everything, such as cars, smartphones, clothes and in different environments (Atzori, Iera, and Morabito, 2010;Kraijak and Tuwanut, 2016;Datta et al, 2017;Wortmann, Combemale and Barais, 2017;Cicirelli et al, 2018), characterizing the IoT domain and vision. It enables a pervasive interaction between connected things enhanced with identification, sensing, actuation, and processing capabilities, which enable them to interact with the environment.…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new technological paradigm that brings together the physical and virtual worlds to provide software systems everywhere through daily life objects. The IoT can transform how we interact with the environment surrounding us, leading to a significant multidisciplinary technological shift. However, since it is a new field of research and development, there is a lack of consensus and understanding of its concepts and features, as we observed when engineering some software systems in the field. Therefore, we performed investigations to characterize IoT regarding its definition, characteristics, and applications, organizing the area and revealing its challenges and research opportunities. A structured literature review of secondary studies supported the answering of three research questions: What is “Internet of Things”? Which characteristics can define an IoT domain? Which are the areas of IoT application? The structured literature review leads to 15 subsequent studies from which we recovered 34 definitions - discussed in the light of the technical evolution - 29 characteristics and several IoT application areas. Furthermore, the results include an IoT characterization based on identification, sensing, and actuation capabilities, besides a discussion of the relation between IoT and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), regarding other research areas and terms often associated with IoT aiming at to bring clarification to the field. In this work, we offer an essential overview of the IoT state-of-the-art and a characterization, presenting issues that should be addressed to contribute to its strengthening and establishment.
