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

项目说明(最大4000字)本项目旨在推动复杂和多学科项目环境中的联合设计、软件和系统工程实践：具体地说，是智能城市的产品服务系统(PSS)。这项研究将采用系统系统的观点，并使用新的定量和定性方法。由于项目所需的专家和多学科角色的多样性、物联网(IoT)环境中技术变化的速度以及社会技术系统中复杂的人为因素，证明什么有效(或无效)以及为什么特别具有挑战性。在一个项目、组织环境或城市中起作用的东西在其他项目中可能不起作用，例如，研究如何在结合了非专业人员(即公民)和其他智能产品和服务的最终用户的敏捷联合设计和开发环境中生成需求和管理利益相关者。另一个需要调查的关键领域是将企业利益相关者和政策制定者的要求纳入我们未来城市现实世界智能产品服务系统的优化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.
