Building Ubiquitous Business Process following an MDD approach

Information systems supporting business processes can be improved by the use of Ubiquitous Computing (Ubicomp) technologies. However, the dynamism of business processes and the complexity in the construction of Ubicomp systems requires an adequate method for its development. This paper proposes a model driven development method to obtain this kind of systems in a systematic way, abstracting technological details and automating its implementation. The method is presented in depth with a case study of the supply chain of a pharmaceutics company where Ubicomp is used to improve the cold chain and ease the inventory tasks.
