Domain Specific Modeling Language for Object Localization in Marine Observatories

Marine observatories (MO) based on sensor networks provide a continuous observation of the ocean. The logical and physical components that are used in these observatories provide data exchanged environment between different devices (Smart Sensor, Data Fusion). These components provide new functionalities or services due to the stable running of this network. In this paper, we present our approach in extending the modeling languages to include new domain-specific concepts and constraints. Thus, we propose a meta-model that is used to generate a new design tool (ArchiMO). We illustrate our proposal with an example from the MO domain. Additionally, we generate the corresponding simulation code using our selfdeveloped domain-specific model compiler. Our approach helps to reduce the complexity and time of the design activity. It provides a way to share the different viewpoints of the designers in the domain of MO.
