Abstract EN
Insect intelligent building (I2B) is a novel decentralized, flat-structured intelligent building platform with excellent flexibility and scalability.
I2B allows users to develop applications that include control strategies for efficiently managing and controlling buildings.
However, developing I2B APPs (applications) is considered a challenging and complex task due to the complex structural features and parallel computing models of the I2B platform.
Existing studies have been shown to encounter difficulty in supporting a high degree of abstraction and in allowing users to define control scenarios in a concise and comprehensible way.
This paper aims to facilitate the development of such applications and to reduce the programming difficulty.
We propose Touch, a textual domain-specific language (DSL) that provides a high-level abstraction of I2B APPs.
Specifically, we first establish the conceptual programming architecture of the I2B APP, making the application more intuitive by abstracting different levels of physical entities in I2B.
Then, we present special language elements to effectively support the parallel computing model of the I2B platform and provide a formal definition of the concrete Touch syntax.
We also implement supporting tools for Touch, including a development environment as well as target code generation.
Finally, we present experimental results to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of Touch.
