Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have large industrial applications. However, the modelisation is still a very complex task in view of the nature of these networks, namely because they are distributed, embedded and have strong interactions between the hardware and software parts. In addition, industrials use semi-formal methods to design their systems and validate behaviours by simulation. In this context, in order to improve the checking of the WSN properties, we propose a Model Driven Architecture (MDA) approach for modeling and checking of properties like energy consumption. This approach combines the advantages of SysML and Modelica languages and promotes the reusability and improves the development process. It is described mainly by two steps. In first, we offer a model transformation by taking into account static, dynamic and requirement diagrams of SysML in order to specify their corresponding Modelica model. In the second step, we carried out the virtual verification of WSN properties. This approach is implemented inside Topcased platform and illustrated through a crossroads monitoring system which aims the verification of energy consumption.
