In Part 1 of this series, we discussed the importance of supporting collaboration. One aspect of this is providing access to project management information for all members of the team. We can use Syndeia to facilitate this by creating issues in JIRA connected to elements in the other software tools. The JIRA issues contain status,

Our objective at this stage is to complete the interconnection of urban system blocks in SysML and then to transform that SysML model to an equivalent model in a simulation tool, here Simulink (The MathWorks). The initial step in SysML is to create internal block diagrams (IBDs) showing the parts and their ports and to

Our structural model of the urban system is shown in Figure 1, with the overall system treated as a set of subsystems providing resources and/or services: utility, transportation, public services, etc. The Residential Subsystem, for example, provides labor as a service to other services. Each of these subsystems is further decomposed, i.e. utilities include water

Effective systems development begins with a clear set of objectives, captured as requirements. In terms of building a model, we must consider several different types of requirements: Model Architecture requirements – which urban systems should be part of the model Model Simulation requirements – which performance factors should be calculated Urban System requirements – what
