Abstract

This paper presents a high-level approach to developing an information system for electric car charging stations, utilizing a Process Layer Supply pattern. This pattern organizes activity processes, business rules, visions, and goals that support system modelling. The paper models the system's structural and behavioral aspects using UML diagrams—specifically, class, use case, and activity diagrams — via the Papyrus UML2 tool. These diagrams facilitate visualizing functional requirements, user-to-system interactions, and system components for efficient planning, development, and implementation. The model addresses the most critical gaps in an electric car charging infrastructure and optimizes the information system's operations for practical implementation. The proposed system is designed to support future developments, like integration with dynamic demand markets for flexible pricing and optimized operations. Additionally, we use pseudocode to link abstract UML models to actual implementations, ensuring the accurate transfer of system logic to the corresponding code. Since every component of the charging network is logically interconnected, a sustainable foundation for future electric car mobility is established.

Author Biography

VIOLETA DIMIĆ, Faculty of Information Technology, Alfa BK University, 11070 Belgrade, Serbia.

Violeta Dimić is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Information Technology at Alfa BK University in Belgrade. She received a BSc and MSc from the University of Nis, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, and worked there as a Research Assistant until 2002. She received her PhD in Engineering and Computer Science at the Singidunum University in Belgrade. She worked at MB University in Belgrade as an Assistant Professor until 2023.
At the beginning of her scientific research, she dealt with composite materials in which she compared the same properties experimentally via theoretical models and used them in converter systems applications. Later, her research interests span both Computer Architecture and Simulation. Much of her work has been on improving the understanding and performance of Information Systems Design. In the WWW arena, she has worked on characterizing Web programming. She has explored the multicriteria analysis in ICT implementation for smart cities. She has also investigated the implications of Renewable Energy Sources for the adjustable model of the sustainable development project. In addition, she has made numerous contributions to multicriteria decision-making and modeling and has examined the prioritizing and ranking of indicators for the "smart" city model.
