Abstract:
Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg Address spoke of “government of the people, by the people and for the people.” The INCOSE Smart Cities Initiative (SCI) is proceeding along these lines to support municipal governments in considering people first for smart city efforts. This Initiative will support municipalities and public agencies in adopting Smart Cities technologies by applying systems engineering principles and tools. This Initiative will support holistic development of Smart Cities infrastructure and Concepts, Applications, Technology and Services (CATS) through an open framework. Their initial set of models and metrics focused on the people and communities to determine how a smart city can improve life for its residents. Towards that end, a modeling initiative using the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) was created to put the human at the center of the sociotechnical system. The model looks at a city as an enterprise to examine the organizations, people, and communities using the human factors set of views. As a city of any size is a complex system of systems, the initial model is focused on Homeless/Unhoused People, how they interact with other organizations and people in the community. Only once this is understood should architects and planners explore technical solutions and how to improve outcomes for both them and the city. This paper will briefly discuss the SCI and its goals, and then show how MBSE can help planners understand the problem before looking for solutions.
About the Speaker:
Matthew Hause is an SSI Principal and MBSE Technical Specialist, a former PTC Fellow, a co-chair of the OMG UAF group, a member of the OMG SysML specification team, a co-chair of the OMG Reusable Asset Specification (RAS) team, and a thought leader in the use of MBSE. He has been developing multi-national complex systems for over 45 years as a systems and software engineer. He started out working in the power systems industry and has been involved in military command and control systems, process control, manufacturing, factory automation, communications, SCADA, distributed control, office automation and many other areas of technical and real-time systems. His roles have varied from project manager to developer. His role at SSI includes mentoring, sales presentations, standards development, presentations at conferences, specification of the UAF profile and developing and presenting training courses. He has authored over 100 technical papers on architectural modeling, project management, systems engineering, model-based engineering, human factors, safety critical systems development, mission engineering, virtual team management, product line engineering, systems of systems, systems and software development with UML, SysML and Architectural Frameworks such as UAF, DoDAF and MODAF. He has been a regular presenter at INCOSE, NDIA, the IEEE, BCS, the IET, the OMG, AIAA, DoD Enterprise Architecture, Embedded Systems Conference, the Dassault MBSE Cyber Systems Symposium, and many other conferences. He is also a proud recipient of the INCOSE MBSE Propeller Hat Award.
