Video online: UbiBots – Model Based Software Engineering for Ubiquitous Cyber-Physical Systems

The final presentation video of the project course “UbiBots – Model Based Software Engineering for Ubiquitous Cyber-Physical Systems” is now uploaded to YouTube.

The video presents the results of a master project course conducted at the Software Engineering group of the Leibniz Universität Hannover (http://www.se.uni-hannover.de/) in 2015.

In this course, a group of students used the ScenarioTools tool suite (http://scenariotools.org/) to specify the behavior of an advanced driver assistance system based on Car-to-X communication. The main example regarded in the course was the warning of drivers as they pass a narrow lane caused by roadworks.

Then an execution infrastructure was developed to execute the scenario-based specification on RaspberryPi-based and Java-enabled robots (Pi2Go).

Talk on scenarios@run.time accepted at EclipseCon Europe 2015

Our talk on “Scenarios@run.time – Modeling, Analyzing, and Executing Specifications of Distributed Systems” was accepted at EclipseCon Europe 2015.

We will be talking about our new upcoming release of ScenarioTools (http://scenariotools.org) and how we run it on distributed MQTT-connected RaspberryPi robots.

Paper on scenarios@run.time accepted at the models@run.time Workshop (MRT’15)

Our paper “Scenarios@run.time — Distributed Execution of Specifications on IoT-Connected Robots” was accepted at the 10th International Workshop on Models@run.time (MRT’15), which is co-located with MODELS 2015.

Why is it cool?

We have been working on a new version of ScenarioTools (more information on that coming soon), and can now execute LCS/MSD-style scenario-based specifications on distributed systems.

Our demonstration example is a Car-to-X application that we realized with of RaspberryPi-based robots (Pi2Go, http://4tronix.co.uk/blog/?p=452). These robots communicate via MQTT.

The bulk of the work was done by a group of master students at the Software Engineering Group of the Leibniz Universität Hannover during a project course Ubibots. Also visit the Ubibots project website (http://ubibots2015.scenariotools.org/).
