to a task process whose resource launches a thread
for reading on the serial port and that processes the
specified component that each time a data is read. In-
deed, some components whose implementations have
to be provided by developers should refer to generated
components. This is a shortcoming of this approach.
8 CONCLUSION
The current work presents a model-driven develop-
ment for automatically generating source code of
service-oriented JEE applications that corresponds to
SCADA applications from a model of sensor and actu-
ator networks. This approach consists of a model-to-
model transformation from a domain-specific meta-
model of sensor and actuator networks to a meta-
model of component-based web services; the code
generation is delegated to the REIFIER tool that pro-
vide JEE application source code from web service
models. It makes possible to develop customized
SCADA applications for given sensor and actuator
networks and to reverse SCADA application engineer-
ing. In fact, the traditional approach consists in cus-
tomizing an existing SCADA application.
Prospects are threefold. Firstly, it aims at ensuring
smart network security and modelling roles and grants
of users in order to generate industrial-like SCADA
applications and fine-grained user management. Sec-
ondly, it aims at designing a top-down engineering of
sensor and actuator networks by incremental refine-
ment steps from sensor and actuator specifications to
implementations. Thirdly, it aims at integrating com-
mon patterns of data analysis directly as artifacts of
the model transformation instead of embedding into
SCADA applications them as user triggered processes
of sensor and actuator network models.
