abstract = {Smart Environments (SEs) are pervasive systems usually built on top of IoT-based sensing and actuation devices which are spread in an environment. The increase of the on-board computational capacity of the used devices opens to the possibility of naturally exploiting the edge computing paradigm in which the computation is pushed at the edge of the network. Anyway, despite the huge interest towards SEs, there is a lack of approaches for their design. This paper proposes an enhancement of the existing Smart Environment Metamodel (SEM) framework suited for designing SEs. The provided extension aims at taking into account issues related to edge computing, management of timing information and definition of the data types involved in data sources. The effectiveness of the whole proposal is assessed through a case study describing the development of a Smart Office.},

abstract = { A smart environment is a physical environment enriched with sensing, actuation, communication and computation capabilities aiming at acquiring and exploiting knowledge about the environment so as to adapt itself to its inhabitants' preferences and requirements. In this domain, there is the need of tools supporting the design and analysis of applications. In this paper, the Smart Environment Metamodel (SEM) framework is proposed. The framework allows to model applications by exploiting concepts specific to the smart environment domain. SEM approaches the modeling from two different points of view, namely the functional and data perspectives. The application of the framework is supported by a set of general guidelines to drive the analysis, the design and the implementation of smart environments. The effectiveness of the framework is shown by applying it to the modeling of a real smart office scenario that has been developed, deployed and analyzed.},
