UCM4IoT: A Use Case Modelling Environment for IoT Systems
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The engineering of IoT systems brings about various challenges due to the inherent complexities associated with such adaptive systems. Addressing the adaptive nature of IoT systems in the early stages of the development life cycle is essential for developing a complete and precise system specification. In this paper, we propose a use case modelling environment, UCM4IoT, to support requirements elicitation and specification of IoT systems. Our UCM4IoT language takes into account the heterogeneity of IoT systems and provides domain-specific language constructs to model the different facets of IoT. The language also incorporates the notion of exceptional situations and adaptive system behaviour. Our language is supported with a textual modelling environment to assist modellers in writing use cases. The environment supports syntax-directed editing, validation of use case models, and requirements analysis. The proposed language and tool is demonstrated with a smart store case study.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
