Model-Driven Development of a Biosignal Analysis Framework: Benefits and Impacts on Processes

Recent advances in mobile technologies allow new applications in medicine and healthcare. Such systems cover often biosignal acquisition and processing. A framework can be used to provide basic structures and functionalities of biosignal applications. It should support developers to build complex biosignal systems for their specific application or to develop and test new analysing methods. For this, model-driven software development offers a promising approach. This paper proposes an approach to the model-driven development of a biosignal framework. The impacts to the development process and architecture are pointed out and its benefits are assessed.
