✦ Synopsis

In a previous article the authors detailed the concept of smart sensors through an examination of its functionalities: the measurement functionality, the validation functionality, the configuration functionality and the communication functionality. An outline of a methodology for the design of a reference model for smart sensors was also presented. This paper presents further information on the methodology, as well as putting it into practice for the modelling of a smart temperature sensor. The use of different design tools is also envisaged to build up a computer based environment for the design of smart sensors.
