No.1 2018/10/01 13:00-14:30 Introduction and Outline (By N.Kohtake, A.Tokaji)
Explanation of course syllabus and overview of systems engineering. Proposals concerning support system for Tokyo 2020 Olympic/Paralympic Summer Games.
No.2 2018/10/01 14:45-16:15 System Life Cycle and Vee Model (By N.Kohtake, A.Tokaji)
We explain that the essence of systems engineering is to satisfy the requirements of stakeholders, and have the students practice concretizing (converting into engineering and quantitative terms) vague requirements. All the processes from this class on are conducted in groups. We explain the role of decision gate and the implementation method in this course.
No.3 2018/10/15 13:00-14:30 Requirement Analysis 1 (By N.Kohtake, A.Tokaji)
Each team receives the identical “system concept plan” as initial requirements from the pseudo sponsor corporation and acquires the skill inventory of group members and approximate budget information. Teams are asked to improve the initial requirement documents and separate the text into those related to implementation method and those related to state change to achieve by introduction of the system.
No.4 2018/10/15 14:45-16:15 Requirement Analysis 2 (By N.Kohtake, A.Tokaji)
The groups list up the possible stakeholders and identify the most important requirements from each stakeholder’s viewpoint. After the lecture on the basic structure of documents, the groups try to find inconsistency in the requirements and update the requirement documents with the sponsor corporation.
No.5 2018/10/29 13:00-14:30 Architecting and Integration 1 (By N.Kohtake, A.Tokaji)
Teams develop CONOPS and prepare multiple system implementation plans. They also conduct the decision gate to agree upon the basic requirements.
No.6 2018/10/29 14:45-16:15 Architecting and Integration 2 (By N.Kohtake, A.Tokaji)
Teams select few candidates for the implementation method concepts and adjust the balance between the expenses for the purchase of necessary components and the advantages of the implemented functions. Architecture frame works are also explained. The architecture frame works get world wide attention.
No.7 2018/11/12 13:00-14:30 Verification and Validation 1 (By N.Kohtake, A.Tokaji)
Teams select the implementation method concept, prepare the systems architecture and check the feasibility using models and simulations.
No.8 2018/11/12 14:45-16:15 Verification and Validation 2 (By N.Kohtake, S.Shirasaka)
Teams select each of the components and implementation method of the interface. By adjusting the balance of the expenses, teams reach an agreement with the sponsor corporation on CONOPS and the decision gate.
No.9 2018/11/26 13:00-14:30 Test Planning 1 (By N.Kohtake, A.Tokaji)
Teams identify who collects/produces/assembles what at what period of time, and prepare a schedule. The teams must focus on specifications of verification and validation and must agree with the sponsor corporation on the decision gate.
No.10 2018/11/26 14:45-16:15 Test Planning 2 (By N.Kohtake, A.Tokaji)
Teams decide on where to buy the necessary components from and order them to fix the final amount of expense. The teams start the integration with the parts that they received
No.11 2018/12/10 13:00-14:30 Documentation (By N.Kohtake, A.Tokaji)
Teams conduct system integration and verification according to the schedule.
No.12 2018/12/10 13:45-16:15 Preparation for Acceptance Review (By N.Kohtake, A.Tokaji)
Teams conduct system integration and verification according to the schedule.
No.13 2018/12/17 13:00-14:30 Acceptance Review (By N.Kohtake, A.Tokaji)
Teams make the final presentation and demonstration to the sponsor corporation. The sponsor corporation tests the system and teams receive the final approval.
No.14 2018/12/17 14:45-16:15 Summary and Conclusion (By N.Kohtake, A.Tokaji)
Lecturers conclude this lecture series.
