Analyzing Toolkits for the Development of Information Support for Smart Spaces


Trends in the development of smart spaces are described. Modern tools for designing the information support of smart spaces are presented, and a brief description of them, their applied methods, and their standards are given. It is concluded that there is a growing need for specialist designers of this field of knowledge. The paper builds on prior research into using model-driven development methodologies (MDE / MDA - Model Driven Architecture) to enable structured design of smart spaces. This allows defining high-level models of a smart space which can then be systematically transformed into deployable software / hardware descriptions.

It uses semantic technologies such as ontologies to give a formal, machine-understandable description to components of smart spaces (sensors, actuators, services, context, etc.). This enhances interoperability and consistency, and supports verification of models against real-world constraints. The paper outlines a toolkit approach that supports modeling from high-level behavior and context (environment) to low-level deployment (smart objects, devices, sensors, RESTful services). In one referenced methodology, two models are used: an “Environment Context Model (ECM)” and a “Smart Object Model (SOM)”.

The notion of “smart spaces” - environments embedded with sensors, actuators, computing and services - is central to current and future applications: smart homes, smart buildings, smart campuses, smart cities. Effective design of such spaces requires robust “information support” to manage data, context, services, and interactions. The paper addresses precisely this design challenge.

By combining software-engineering practices (model-driven design) with semantic web / ontology-driven modelling, this work helps bridge the gap between high-level design (how a smart space should behave) and low-level technical realization (wired sensors, RESTful services, deployment). This is critical for scalability and maintainability.

As more real-world deployments of smart spaces increase - e.g., smart campuses, IoT-based buildings, smart cities - having standardised, well-documented, toolkit-based methods reduces ad-hocism and helps ensure reliability, interoperability, and maintainability.

Detecting Co-Resident Attacks in 5G Clouds! Detecting co-resident attacks in 5G clouds involves identifying malicious activities where attackers share physical cloud resources with victims to steal data or disrupt services. Techniques like machine learning, behavioral analysis, and resource monitoring help detect unusual patterns, ensuring stronger security and privacy in 5G cloud environments. Detecting Co-Resident Attacks in 5G Clouds In a 5G cloud environment, many different users (including businesses and individuals) share the same physical infrastructure through virtualization technologies like Virtual Machines (VMs) and containers. Co-resident attacks occur when a malicious user manages to place their VM or container on the same physical server as a target. Once co-residency is achieved, attackers can exploit shared resources like CPU caches, memory buses, or network interfaces to gather sensitive information or launch denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Why are Co-Resident Attack...

Network Architecture

An introduction to satellite network architecture Satellite networking is a digital revolution that connects people from across the world instantly -- from enabling real-time communications to making the world a safer place. A satellite is an artificial object put into the Earth's orbit to gather and distribute crucial data. Since the late 1950s, satellites have only transmitted and received data, as bent pipe satellites weren't able to perform other functions. In modern times, a group of satellites in the same orbit forms a satellite network. Satellite networks process data and provide accurate visual and textual information. Unlike terrestrial network infrastructure, satellite network scalability isn't limited by geography and cost. According to a March 2025 report from Goldman Sachs, the global satellite market is expected to hit $108 billion by 2035, growing sevenfold from its current valuation. Satellite networks consist of the following: The ground equipment. The sa...
