This paper covers the proposed rapid engineering methodology and a corresponding prototypical implementation which is validated in a laboratory experiment and decreases the number of engineering steps and reduces the use case design and implementation complexity.Abstract:
The rollout of smart grid solutions has already started and new methods are deployed to the power systems of today. However, complexity is still increasing as focus is moving from a single system, to a system of systems perspective. The results are increasing engineering efforts and escalating costs. For this reason, new and automated engineering methods are necessary. This paper addresses these needs with a rapid engineering methodology that covers the overall engineering process for smart grid applications—from use case design to deployment. Based on a model-driven development approach, the methodology consists of three main parts: use case modeling, code generation, and deployment. A domain-specific language is introduced supporting the use case design according to the Smart Grid Architecture Model. It is combined with the IEC 61499 distributed control model to improve the function layer design. After a completed use case design, executable code and communication configurations (e.g., IEC 61850) are generated and deployed onto compatible field devices. This paper covers the proposed rapid engineering methodology and a corresponding prototypical implementation which is validated in a laboratory experiment. Compared to other methods the proposed methodology decreases the number of engineering steps and reduces the use case design and implementation complexity.read more

Why looking isn't always seeing: readership skills and graphical programming : Cognition and software development
TL;DR: This article reports on some fascinating research focusing on understanding how textual and visual representations for software differ in effectiveness, and determined that the differences lie not so much in the textual-visual distinction as in the degree to which specific representations support the conventions experts expect.
