Conclusion & Future work● From a small description of a
pervasive computing system
● a generated programming framework
– to guide the development– to ensure conformance
● a support for graphical simulation
● a middleware abstraction layer
● Non-functional properties
● security
● fault tolerance
● Further leveraging on existing approaches/tools
● unit testing
● refactoring
● Generalizing our approach to other domains
