What is ThingML?

ThingML is a modeling language for embedded and distributed systems. It is developped by the Networked Systems and Services department of SINTEF in Oslo, Norway.

ThingML stands for "Thing" Modeling Language as a reference to the so called Internet of Things.

The idea of ThingML is to develop a practical model-driven software engineering tool-chain which targets resource constrained embedded systems such as low-power sensor and microcontroller based devices.

ThingML is developed as a domain-specific modeling language which includes concepts to describe both software components and communication protocols. The formalism used is a combination of architecture models, state machines and an imperative action language.

The ThingML toolset includes text editors to create and edit ThingML models, a set of transformations to create diagrams from ThingML models and a set of code generators to compile ThingML to C, Java and JavaScript.
