Enhancing Composition and Interoperability of Wireless Sensors and Actuator Networks through integrated Design, Development and Simulation Tools

This PhD thesis project extends existing Model-driven Methodologies (MDM) for WSN in order to better support development of heterogeneous, resource-oriented WSAN applications which can be used jointly with existing Internet-oriented sys- tems and application-specific tools. Its main goal is to evaluate the feasibility of VIIIsuch novel methodology, showing how a proper combination of model-driven development approaches, integrated tools and standard service definition formats can help the development and convergence of IoT-enabling building blocks into complex, distributed, cooperative end-user applications in real environment.
