Quality Attributes Series, Chapter 2: Integrability in a city digital twin as a system of systems
Second post in the Quality Attributes Series. A city digital twin is never finished being integrated. Integrability is the predicted cost and risk of plugging tomorrow's components into today's platform, and it can be estimated from the size of the interface between them and the distance at each dependency.
Quality Attributes Series, Chapter 1: Maintainability in a city digital twin as a system of systems
First post in the Quality Attributes Series, on how to build quality attributes into a city digital twin that is really a system of systems. It starts with maintainability: a city twin rarely fails on launch day. It fails in year three, when a sensor vendor changes firmware, a feed changes its schema and a new twin wants to join.
Graph-Driven city operations under ISO 5087
As cities become increasingly digital, the challenge of unifying disparate urban data sources has never been more critical. With ISO 5087, the city is modeled as an RDF graph where every urban asset is a linked resource, ready for SPARQL queries and seamless integration
Modular thinking for digital twins to reduce complexity
This post explores how to effectively structure the architecture of a complex Digital Twin using modular design principles. Drawing from the concept to group or separate components based on shared data, responsibility, abstraction level, and system complexity. The focus is on reducing total system complexity while ensuring each component has clear, meaningful responsibility
Digital Twin and MCP: standards for AI in Smart Cities
How Digital Twin use Model Context Protocol (MCP) as standard to enable real-time city and intelligent services to empower scalable and efficient architectures.
Cognitive Functions as Tools: integrating IA to communicate with other architecture components
The Cognitive Functions as Tools connects AI systems with external software components, significantly expanding their scope and problem-solving capabilities.
