This page provides an overview about the compatibility between Vorto and SensIDL, providing a conceptional comparison regarding to different aspects of both approaches. Furthermore, a more detailed outlook in SensIDL usage can be found at the official web site [1].
| Category | Property | Vorto | SensIDL |
|---|---|---|---|
| General focus | Documentation of essential device and sensor properties as well as its preparation in a central repository | Data structures and communication with sensors with the focus to generate the implementation code (sensor-side and receiver side) providing a sensor data specific API and code for serializing and deserializing the data. | |
| Domain | Entire IoT domain | Energie-self-sufficient and -constrained sensors and sensor systems with focus on data transmission. | |
| Models | Hierarchical structure of device entities, function blocks and information models. | Data structures transmitted between sensors and receivers. In contrast to VORTO reuse of model artifacts and a central repository is not a required key feature, anyhow nice to have | |
| Binding of concrete sensors | Indirect within the scope of generators and binding elements, e.g. "InformationModelMapping" | Direct outcome. Using generators for creating device and platform specific data structures and code for the communication. | |
| Generation target | Platform, e.g. "IoT Gateway" | Sensor and receiver | |
| Data structures | Implicit via "Information Model" and chosen generator. | Explicit. | |
| Physical units | Via explicit entities of Enums. | Complete support for SI-Units as well as further chosen Non-SI-Units and the possibiltiy to automatic conversion between various units. | |
| Interaction protocol | - | Planned. | |
| Transmissionscoverage as well as authentification and authorisation | Not considered. | Not considered. | |
| Tools and technical base | Eclipse-based | Eclipse-based | |
| Perspective | Yes | No | |
| Editor | Yes, model-based DSL-Editor via Xtext | Yes, model-based DSL-Editor via Xtext. | |
| Code generators | To be filled by Vorto colleagues | C/C++, Java, JavaScript |
