Systems Engineering for Managers Assessment Item 2-- Assignment 2. Aims: This assignment aims to give you an opportunity to: • Identify, interpret and analyze stakeholder needs • Research and consider an issue of reasonable complexity, but one with which you may be familiar, using the concepts of requirement engineering and Functional Analysis. • Apply tools and techniques considered in class to capture your thoughts and ideas on the topic researched. Introduction and Requirements: One of the issues that a smart city will need to deal with is waste management. You have just completed a group assignment dealing with smart cities. You may use any references from that assignment to help you with this one, so long as you acknowledge your references. Identify the functions that a waste management system (WMS) in a smart city would need to accomplish. Consider this from the points of view of the key stakeholders involved e.g. the citizens, the government, the waste management workers, possible environmental groups, and so on. Perform a decomposition of these functions into lower level ones, and as you do so identify the functional interfaces that may exist between them. Having identified these functions provides the following: 1. A context diagram which depicts the WMS in the context of smart cities. 2. A Functional Hierarchy Diagram for the WMS, using your decomposition down to three levels beginning with level 0. 3. A Functional Flow Block Diagram illustrating at least one of the functional threads of the system. 4. An N2 diagram illustrating the interfaces between the functions of the system. 5. Comment on the efficacy of considering this problem in isolation of the other aspects of smart cities. Notes: • What we will be looking for in your responses is your application of requirements engineering and functional analysis and of some of the tools of systems thinking. • Ensure that all your sources of information are properly acknowledged – via in-text referencing and through a reference list. Your references should belong to scholarly literature and/ or be articles reported in the daily media. See the subject outline for more information on referencing.
