Intelligent product-service systems in smart cities: Advancing co-design and systems engineering practices

项目描述（最多）该项目旨在推进复杂和多学科项目环境中的协同设计、软件和系统工程实践：特别是智能城市的产品服务系统（PSS）。本研究将采用系统的视角，并采用新颖的定量和定性方法。证明什么有效（或不有效）以及为什么特别具有挑战性，因为；项目所需的各种专家和多学科角色，物联网（IoT）环境中的技术变革步伐以及社会技术系统中复杂的人为因素。例如，研究如何在敏捷协同设计和开发环境中生成需求和管理利益相关者，这些环境包括非专业人员（即公民）和智能产品和服务的其他最终用户。研究的另一个关键领域是将商业利益相关者和政策制定者的要求纳入到我们未来城市中现实世界智能产品服务系统的改进设计和原型解决方案的过程中。

Project description (max. 4000 characters) This project aims to advance co-design, software and systems engineering practices in complex and multi-disciplinary project environments: specifically, Product-Service Systems (PSS) for smart cities. The research will adopt a systems-of-systems perspective and utilise novel quantitative and qualitative methods. Evidencing what works (or does not work) and why is particularly challenging due to; the variety of specialist and multi-disciplinary roles required on projects, the pace of technological change in Internet of Things (IoT) environments and complex human factors in socio-technical systems. What works in one project, organisational context or city may not work well in others, for example, studying how requirements are generated and stakeholders are managed within agile co-design and development environments that incorporate non-specialists (i.e. citizens) and other end-users of intelligent products and services. Another key area for investigation is the incorporation of business stakeholder and policy maker requirements into the process of refining designs and prototype solutions for real-world intelligent product-service systems in our future cities.
