The final objective of smart cities is to optimize services and improve the quality of life of their citizens, who can play important roles due to the information they can provide. This information can be used in order to enhance many sectors involved in city activity such as transport, energy or health. Crowd-sourcing initiatives focus their efforts on making cities safer places that are adapted to the population size they host. In this way, citizens are able to report the issues they identify to the relevant body so that they can be fixed and, at the same time, they can provide useful information to other citizens. There are several projects aimed at reporting incidents in a smart city context. In this paper, we propose the use of model-driven engineering by designing a graphical domain-specific language to abstract and improve the incident-reporting process. With the use of a domain-specific language, we can obtain several benefits in our research for users and cities. For instance, we can shorten the time for reporting the events by users and, at the same time, we gain an expressive power compared to other methodologies for incident reporting. In addition, it can be reused and is centered in this specific domain after being studied. Furthermore, we have evaluated the DSL with different users, obtaining a high satisfaction percentage.

Model Driven Approach

The research about the formalization and conduction of controlled experiments in software engineering has reported important insights and guidelines for their organization. However, the computational support to formalize and execute controlled experiments still requires deeper investigation. In this context, this paper presents an empirical study that evaluates a domain-specific language (DSL) proposed to formalize controlled experiments in software engineering. The language is part of a model-driven approach that allows the generation of executable workflows for the experiment participants, according to the statistical design of the experiment. Our study involves the modeling of 16 software engineering experiments to analyze the completeness and expressiveness of the investigated DSL when specifying different controlled experiments. The results highlight several limitations of the DSL that affect the formalization and execution of experiments. These outcomes were used to extend and improve the evaluated DSL. Finally, the improved version of the language was used to model the same experiments in order to illustrate the benefits of the proposed improvements.

In this paper we present DOMMLite - an extensible domain specific language (DSL) for static structure definition of data base oriented applications. The model-driven engineering (MDE) approach, an emerging software development paradigm, has been used. The language structure is defined by the means of a meta model supplemented by validation rules based on Check language and extensions based on Extend language, which are parts of the openArchitectureWare framework [1]. The meta model has been defined along with the textual syntax, which enables creation, update and persistence of DOMMLite models using a common text editor. DSL execution semantics has been defined by the specification and implementation of the source code generator for a target platform with an already defined execution semantics. In order to enable model editing, a textual Eclipse editor has also been developed. DSL, defined in this way, has the capability of generating complete source code for GUI forms with CRUDS (Create-Read-Update-Delete-Search) and navigation operations [2,3,4,5].

AbstractSmart decision making plays a central role for smart city governance. It exploits data analytics approaches applied to collected data, for supporting smart cities stakeholders in understanding and effectively managing a smart city. Smart governance is performed through the management of key performance indicators (KPIs), reflecting the degree of smartness and sustainability of smart cities. Even though KPIs are gaining relevance, e.g., at European level, the existing tools for their calculation are still limited. They mainly consist in dashboards and online spreadsheets that are rigid, thus making the KPIs evolution and customization a tedious and error-prone process. In this paper, we exploit model-driven engineering (MDE) techniques, through metamodel-based domain-specific languages (DSLs), to build a framework called MIKADO for the automatic assessment of KPIs over smart cities. In particular, the approach provides support for both: (i) domain experts, by the definition of a textual DSL for an intuitive KPIs modeling process and (ii) smart cities stakeholders, by the definition of graphical editors for smart cities modeling. Moreover, dynamic dashboards are generated to support an intuitive visualization and interpretation of the KPIs assessed by our KPIs evaluation engine. We provide evaluation results by showing a demonstration case as well as studying the scalability of the KPIs evaluation engine and the general usability of the approach with encouraging results. Moreover, the approach is open and extensible to further manage comparison among smart cities, simulations, and KPIs interrelations.

TemPsy (Temporal Properties made easy) is a pattern-based, domain-specific language for the specification of temporal properties. In this paper we provide an overview of TemPsy-Check, a tool that implements a model-driven approach for performing offline trace checking of temporal properties written in TemPsy. TemPsy-Check relies on an optimized mapping of temporal requirements written in TemPsy into Object Constraint Language (OCL) constraints on a conceptual model of execution traces.

Language Workbenches

Model Driven Software Engineering aims to provide a quality assured process for designing and generating software. Modelling frameworks that offer technologies for domain specific language and associated tool construction are called language workbenches. Since modelling is itself a domain, there are benefits to applying a workbenchbased approach to the construction of modelling languages and tools. Such a framework is a meta-modelling tool and those that can generate themselves are reflective metatools. This article reviews the current state of the art for modelling tools and proposes a set of reflective meta-modelling tool requirements. The XTools framework has been designed as a reflective meta-tool and is used as a benchmark.
