Abstract

ZigBee is a technology that is being rapidly developed since its power consumption is low and the stability of its communication is high. However, documented data which is coded using conventional programming languages such as C or assembly programming language would not be able to fulfill the various requirements upon application development by ZigBee. Unified Modelling Languge (UML) could be one of the alternatives to solve this problem. UML provides a variety of diagrams by which the results of the software development can be presented visually and by which the developers can communicate more spontaneously. This paper shows the results of an ongoing study into the application of model-driven methods for ZigBee Application. Also, this paper shows that this approach is feasible by comparing memory usage, latency, and power consumption of UML modelling code with those of handwritten code.
