Enterprise Modelling for the Internet of Things: The ComVantage Method

Part of the Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering book series (LNEE,volume 376)

Abstract

The paper provides design insights and an illustrative running example on how the ComVantage domain-specific enterprise modelling method supports capability matching in mobile maintenance scenarios, within an “Internet of Things” (IoT) environment. A key benefit of the modelling method (and its proof-of-concept implementation) is the ability of exporting diagrammatic conceptual models with domain-specific semantics to a Linked Data environment, where model elements can be linked to available IoT resources and their “Resource Description Framework” (RDF)-based descriptions (e.g., machines, sensors, maintenance actors and processes). Consequently, exported models serve as back-end information for semantically richer queries, thus enabling run-time apps to support timely maintenance interventions. The modelling method and its proof-of-concept prototype have been developed by the authors in a European research project, therefore background on the project will also be provided to facilitate understanding.
