“…AMF specifies the modeling rules for an Agilla-based WSN application. The framework leverages UML enriched with Agilla [7] and MARTE (Modeling and Analysis of Real-Time and Embedded Systems) [1] profiles. An agent is modeled through UML Activities (i.e., Actions, Control/Object Flows) and displayed on Activity Diagrams.…”

“…In order to help WSN application developers and to provide more abstract modeling instruments, we proposed in [7] a model-driven approach that permitted to model Agilla agents [3] using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) [15] combined with our Agilla UML profile. Then, an Acceleo [2] Model-toCode (M2C) transformation was implemented to automatically transform the UML designed models into executable Agilla agents' code.…”

“…These measurements were made by modifying/extending the Agilla platform with additional NesC code; -We extended the Agilla UML Profile proposed in [7] to allow the annotation of the models with non-functional information and to permit the modeling of the timing characteristics of Agilla agents using the UML MARTE profile [1]. This extension introduces a distinct predefined UML behavioral unit (e.g., an action) for the whole Agilla instruction set and, beyond the name, it includes the annotation of the measured execution time.…”

Abstract. Wireless Sensor Networks are becoming one of the most successful choices for the development and deployment of a wide range of applications, from intelligent homes to environment monitoring. In response to the growing demand for fast development of WSN applications, we extend an existing UML-based approach for the design and code generation of Agilla applications with functional simulation and timing analysis capabilities through executable UML models. The proposed approach makes use of both a UML profile and an executable model library for Agilla. Execution times, annotated on Agilla instructions and patterns in the library, are given as additional input parameters during the model execution to carry out a timing analysis of the simulated Agilla applications. Modeling and simulation activities rely on MagicDraw© and Cameo Simulation Toolkit©. A running case study is provided to show the approach and the supporting tools at work.
