SUMMARY:SESA Virtual Systems Forums
DESCRIPTION:The Systems Engineering Society of Australia (SESA) will be hosting a series of short Virtual Systems Forums (VSFs) from 23rd of June – 2nd of July\, to be held mid-week (Tuesday – Thursday) in the mornings (8:00 – 9:00 AEST)\, lunch-times (12:00 to 13:30 AEST) and in the evenings (18:00pm to 19:00 AEST) over two weeks\, using Zoom. \nMorning sessions will start at 08:00 am AEST\, will be round-table discussion and structured ideas exchange. Each participant will be given equal time to share their ideas on a different topic each session. \n(Guidelines for morning round table sessions: RoundTable Guidelines ) \nRegister for Morning sessions \nLunch-time sessions will start at 12:00 noon AEST\, run for 1.5 hours and comprise up to four\, short presentations (15 mins each) followed by an open Q&A discussion forum. \nRegister for Lunch-time sessions \nEvening sessions will start at 06:00 pm AEST and will be panel discussion forums focused on particular topics and themes towards the sharing of understanding of systems concepts\, and in their application in helping deal with complex contemporary and potential future challenges. \nRegister for Evening sessions \nThese VSFs are being facilitated by SESA volunteers\, and are FREE of charge. You will receive the relevant zoom links once you have registered. \nSESA will provide a Certificate of Attendance for the sessions you attend as a record for your CPD Log. \n  \nThe program is as follows: \n\n\nMorning\n\n \n\nLunch Time\n\n \n \n\nEvening:\n\n \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. Options to join Zoom meetings: \nOption 1: Join without Zoom Account > Must download Zoom App (free download) \nor \nOption 2: Join without Zoom App through Web Client (Chrome\, Safari etc.) > Must have Zoom Account (free sign up) \n  \nPlease come along and join us at one or all of these SESA VSFs to find out more about the systems concepts\, or to contribute to advancing the SEBoK. \nPlease do not forget to BYO lunch/dinner/drink with you!

SUMMARY:An Opportunity to hear from Leaders in your Field
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a webinar on Monday the 27th of July\, to hear from two experts from the fields of Transport and Systems Engineering. \nRespecify: writing better requirements \nRequirements authoring is a difficult and time-consuming task that requires the right combination of technical\, commercial\, risk management and writing skills. Most specifications are written free-form in a word processor because this is easy and familiar to the authors. The authors are usually domain experts rather that requirements authoring experts. The result is that most specifications we see are of poor quality. Many of our engagements are to fix\, or re-specify\, the requirements written by others. Over the years\, we have found that there are patterns or templates that help structure thinking when writing requirements. We have developed Respecify\, a web-based-requirement authoring tool that uses constrained English to guide the author through the requirements writing process. Respecify helps ensure that all terms used in the specification are defined and consistently used; it extracts the list of all referenced documents; and it automatically derives the system hierarchy\, functions\, and interfaces making requirements defects more apparent. This presentation will be a demonstration of Respecify. \nUsing Systems Engineering to manage complexity – Amsterdam Metro case study \nThe Amsterdam Metro is a rapid transit system serving Amsterdam\, Netherlands and extending to the surrounding municipalities of Diemen and Ouder-Amstel. The metro system consists of five routes and serves 39 stations\, with a total length of 42.7 kilometres. In 2002 the construction of the Noord/Zuidlijn (North–South line) was started. The new metro line is the first to serve the Amsterdam North district\, via a tunnel under the IJ. From there\, it runs via Amsterdam Centraal to Amsterdam Zuid\, which is planned to become the second biggest transport hub in the city\, after Amsterdam Centraal. The line includes a mixture of bored tunnels and immersed tunnels under the IJ. The new North-South line is 9 kilometres km in length with 7 kilometres underground in a bore tunnel with seven new stations. The scope included the introduction of a new Traffic Management System\, Data network and central control systems for stations\, which was also integrated into the existing brownfield. The project has a rocky road to implementation. During the integration phase\, the project relied heavily on the systems engineering and integration process in order to commission and handover the systems into operations and maintenance\, which is the subject of this presentation. Thijs van Steen will talk about the challenges faced in implementing systems engineering\, lessons learnt as well as the legacy the project left the operator and maintainers. \nGuest Speakers\n \nStephen Boyd\nManaging Director | Ricardo Rail Australia \nStephen is the Managing Director of Ricardo Rail Australia. He has over 20 years’ design\, manufacturing\, commissioning and maintenance experience across the largest rail projects. He is Managing Director of Ricardo Rail Australia & NZ and runs a team of over 115 technical staff. Over the past few years Stephen has authored many requirements for the major rolling stock\, metro and light rail projects in Australia and NZ. Stephen is currently working on specifications for the Sydney Metro West project. \n \nThijs van Steen\nDirector of Systems Integrator\, Digital Systems Program | Transport for NSW\n \nThijs van Steen is the Director of Systems Integrator\, Digital Systems Program\, TfNSW. He has recently moved to Sydney and is now working on the Digital Systems Program as the Director of Systems Integration. Prior to this was responsible for Systems Integration in the new Noord/Zuidlijn (North–South line) in Amsterdam as part of Metro en Tram\, gemeente Amsterdam. \nIn association with \n \nPlease note: this session is available as a webinar only.
