Supporting Smart Cities Modeling with Graphical and Textual Editors

Smart cities are characterized by their complex structures made by different dimensions (e.g., living, mobility) managed by different stakeholders (e.g., public/private administrations) that not always communicate with each other. Indeed, smart cities include a huge number of diverse aspects from different contexts, ranging from technical to societal aspects. Modeling every context is challenging but required. Towards this direction, in this paper, we present a modeling editor for smart cities realized by exploiting Model-Driven Engineering techniques. We started by designing the data analytics context, while leaving the extension to further contexts as future work. The editor shows both a graphical and textual view and is devoted to stakeholders for the design of smart city models in an intuitive and easy way.
