The document discusses machine-to-machine (M2M) modeling and technologies. It describes the Koneki project at Eclipse, which aims to provide M2M solutions developers with tools to ease development, simulation, testing and deployment of M2M applications. The project involves developing an M2M application model and editors to model interfaces and behavior graphically without programming. It also involves tools for communication simulation, application generation and embedded development.

[…] technologies that allow
both wireless and wired
systems to communicate with
other devices of the same
ability.

19. A model to rule them all?
Describe the interfaces of an M2M application:
• Communication capabilities
• Protocol, connection policy
• Manipulated data / events
• Name, unit, description, archiving policy
• Configuration parameters
• Application packaging / Software update capabilities
Optionally
Open Source M2M: The Koneki Project
• Describe the behaviour of the M2M application

21. Modeling for embedded development?
Very different profiles to address:
• Skilled embedded developers
• Strong C knowledge
• Don’t want to deal with M2M plumbing
• Control engineers
• Very good at understanding the business
• Limited programming skills
• End-application developers
• « Modern programming
Open Source M2M: The Koneki Project » (Java, web, …) background
• Don’t want to deal with embedded development constraints
