    On Feature Models of Home Automation Systems towards Smart Sensing
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020) Patil, P.; Aparna, R.; Chandrasekaran, K.; Rathnamma, M.V.; Ramana, V.V.
    The growing need for innovation in software products and an increase in their complexity has demanded an evolution in the software industry in recent years. Domain Analysis assists software developers in understanding the domains leading to significant improvement in their software development. Domain Analysis can be easily carried out using Feature Modelling by identifying the commonalities and variations among attributes of the domain. On the other hand, Home Automation is a developing domain and is now seeing an increase in the number and complexity of products. The heterogeneity of the home automation system elements introduced a lot of complexity to the developers. The commonly observable features and variations arising from HA systems allow us to visualize Home Automation (HA) systems as a Software Product Line (SPL). In this paper, we aim to adopt the Feature Modelling technique for Domain Analysis of the HA system. The efficacy and validity of this approach is evaluated with the help of proof of concepts. © 2020 IEEE.

    Towards a Domain Specific Modeling Tool for Home Automation Systems
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020) Patil, P.; Aparna, R.; Chandrasekaran, K.
    There is a steadily growing market for applications enabling home automation system connectivity to control various applications and home appliances for managing and security purposes. Development of Home Automation (HA) systems involves a lot of complexity resulting from the heterogeneous nature of the system and its need to be able to provide data security and authenticity. The software development life cycle can be shortened if there exists a solution that enables a suitable transformation from design to crude implementation. There are less known integrated framework for HA system development from model to implementation. This solution can be obtained through Model-driven Development. This paper aims to propose a Model-driven Development based solution which models the Home automation domain using meta-modeling technique and a platform-independent Domain-specific Modelling Language (DSML) which can be used for developing platform dependant DSML to achieve automated code generation using a model. The DSML proposed has been validated with the help of a proof of concept, using case studies. This approach can shorten the development duration and more emphasis can be given for the better design of the system. © 2020 IEEE.
