Declarative Dashboard Generation

Systems of systems are highly dynamic software systems that require flexible monitoring solutions to be observed and controlled. Indeed, operators have to frequently adapt the set of collected indicators according to changing circumstances, to visualize the behavior of the monitored systems and timely take actions, if needed. Unfortunately, dashboard systems are still quite cumbersome to conFigure and adapt to a changing set of indicators that must be visualized.This paper reports our initial effort towards the definition of an automatic dashboard generation process that exploits meta-model layouts to create a full dashboard from a set of indicators selected by operators.
