The design of intelligent instruments, i.e., sensors and actuators, is a complex field. Competences in physics, mechanics, and computing sciences are needed for this design, and strong constraints coming from the instrument hardware or the chosen fieldbus have to be respected. One of the sensitive issues of the design is that the software design has to be made by instrument designers who are domain specialists, but not software experts. Such a designer is able to easily design the hardware part of the intelligent instrument but not the software part.
