Advances in technology call for a parallel evolution in the software. New techniques are needed to support this dynamism, to track and guide its evolution process. This applies especially in the field of embedded systems, and certainly in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), where hardware platforms and software environments change very quickly. Commonly, operating systems play a key role in the development process of any application. The most used operating system in WSNs is TinyOS, currently at its TinyOS 2.1.2 version. The evolution from TinyOS 1.x and TinyOS 2.x made the applications developed on TinyOS 1.x obsolete. In other words, these applications are not compatible out-of-the-box with TinyOS 2.x and require a porting action. In this paper, we discuss on the porting of embedded system (i.e., Wireless Sensor Networks) applications in response to operating systems’ evolution. In particular, using a model-based approach, we report the porting we did of Agilla, a Mobile-Agent Middleware (MAMW) for WSNs, on TinyOS 2.x, which we refer to as Agilla 2. We also provide a comparative analysis about the characteristics of Agilla 2 versus Agilla. The proposed Agilla 2 is compatible with TinyOS 2.x, has full capabilities and provides new features, as shown by the maintainability and performance measurement presented in this paper. An additional valuable result is the architectural modeling of Agilla and Agilla 2, missing before, which extends its documentation and improves its maintainability.

Model Interchange

Many companies are using model-based techniques to offer a competitive advantage in an increasingly globalised systems development industry. Central to model-based development is the concept of models as the basis from which systems are generated, tested, and maintained. The availability of high-quality tools and the ability to adopt and adapt them to the company practice are important qualities. Model interchange between tools becomes a major issue. Without it, there is significantly reduced flexibility and a danger of tool lock-in. We explore the use of a standardised interchange format (XMI) for increasing flexibility in a company environment. We report on a case study in which a systems development company has explored the possibility of complementing its current proprietary tools with open-source products for supporting its model-based development activities. We found that problems still exist with interchange and that the technology needs to mature before industrial-strength model interchange becomes a reality.

Weak Points

The purpose of this chapter is to introduce the test methods applied for embedded systems addressing selected problems in the automotive domain. Model-based test approaches are reviewed and categorized. Weak points are identified and a novel test method is proposed. It is called model-in-the-loop for embedded system test (MiLEST) and is realized in MATLAB®/Simulink®/Stateflow® environment. Its main contribution refers to functional black-box testing based on the system and test models. It is contrasted with the test methods currently applied in the industry that form dedicated solutions, usually specialized in a concrete testing context. The developed signal-feature-oriented paradigm developed herewith allows the abstract description of signals and their properties. It addresses the problem of missing reference signal flows and allows for a systematic and automatic test data selection. Processing of both discrete and continuous signals is possible, so that the hybrid behavior of embedded systems can be handled.

Dialogue Manager

Our work aims at designing a dialogue manager dedicated to agents that interact with humans. In this article, we investigate how dialogue patterns at the dialogue act level extracted from Human-Human interactions can be fruitfully used by a software agent to interact with a human.We show how these patterns can be leveraged via a dialogue game structure in order to benefit to the dialogue management process of an agent. We describe how empirically specified dialogue games can be employed on both interpretative and generative levels of dialogue management. We present Dogma, an open-source module that can be used by an agent to manage its conventional communicative behaviour. We show that our library of dialogue games can be used into Dogma to generate fragments of dialogue that are strongly coherent from a human perspective.

As a typical application layer protocol of CAN-bus, CANopen has been widely accepted in many fields. In this paper, CanFestival, which is a kind of open-source CANopen stack, is briefly introduced. The implementation scheme of CANopen slave node is proposed, which is based on a kind of AVR microcontroller-AT90CAN128 and open-source CANopen stack-CanFestival. In this paper the hardware design of slave node and the open-source protocol stack transplant have completed successfully. The debugging experiment of this slave node communication has been carried out, and the correctness of the scheme of hardware design and software transplant is verified by debugging experiment results in this paper.
