Abstract Details

2024, Master of Science in Computer Science, Miami University, Computer Science and Software Engineering.
Developing Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) applications, particularly for embedded systems, is difficult because of the specialized knowledge required, embedded hardware and software variability, and embedded programming languages’ error-proneness. These problems are exacerbated to novice developers due to their lack of experience. To solve these problems, this thesis presents MoBLE, a domain-specific modeling language (DSML) for BLE applications on embedded systems. MoBLE consists of three main pieces: a language, an editor, and a code generator. The MoBLE language is a graphical DSML designed to represent BLE profiles. The MoBLE Editor is a web-based interface with live error checking used to construct MoBLE models. Finally, the MoBLE Code Generator transforms MoBLE models into the source code necessary to create the BLE profile described by the model on an embedded system. To evaluate MoBLE, both a user study and technical validation were performed; the user study evaluated the usability and intuitiveness of the MoBLE Editor for novice users, and the technical validation determined how correctly the MoBLE Code Generator operates. Ultimately, user study participants gave the MoBLE Editor a combined score of 68/70 (97.1%) for both usability and intuitiveness, and the MoBLE Code Generator passed 100% of its validation tests.
