Building a Software Factory for Pervasive Systems Development

The rise of the number and complexity of pervasive systems is a fact. Pervasive systems developers need advanced development methods in order to build better systems in an easy way. Software Factories and the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) are two important trends in the software engineering field. This paper applies the guidelines and strategies described by these proposals in order to build a methodological approach for pervasive systems development. Software Factories are based on the definition of software families supported by frameworks. Individual systems requirements are specified by means of domain specific languages. Following this strategy, our approach defines a framework and a domain specific language for pervasive systems. We use the MDA guidelines to support the development of our domain specific language and the automatic generation of the specific source code of a particuem. The approach presented in this paper raises the abstraction level in the development o...
