Herramienta de programación y estimación del consumo energético para un Dispositivo Autónomo de Experimentación en Acuicultura

Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of a multiplatform graphical user interface (GUI) oriented to estimate the energy consumption and program an Autonomous Experimentation Device (DAE) in Aquiculture. The DAE executes research experiments based on experimental primitives. The main key of the GUI is the use of graphical features like create, eliminate, drag and drop those experimental primitives. This feature provides a Human Interface for non-engineers like biologists, geneticists or dieticians in aquaculture. Based on the experiment specified by the user and the primitive database, the GUI tool estimates the energy consumption and evaluate the usage of the batteries resources (time horizon) of the Autonomous Experimentation Device (DAE). To materialize the objectives were used elements of the methodology of Rational Unified Process (RUP) and the UML (Unified Modeling Language), the Eclipse integrated development environment, the Java programming language and the ZK framework. Finally, this work is framed in the Work Package 8 of the European project AquaExcel2020.
