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.
