Towards smart cities… Dr. Serge DRUAIS

Smart City Agenda You have said smart Cities? Moving to a new architecture Thales activities in the field MAESTRO: Extended Supervision The vision we pursue is a city where citizens feel comfortable living their life, moving, communicating, making use of services from everywhere (home, travelling, mobile,…) and contributing themselves to the city welfare. Dongtan, China Smart City

Smart city 2020… Our cities are fast transforming into artificial ecosystems of interconnected, interdependent intelligent digital “organisms” Emerging technologies (ICT) are poised to reshape our urban environments William J. Mitchell (MIT, smart city Lab) “Our cities are fast transforming into artificial ecosystems of interconnected, interdependent intelligent digital organisms. This is the fundamentally new technological condition confronting architects and product designers in the twenty-first century.”

Helsinki: Smart City & City 2.0 We are going to need new ways to address and to solve global problems, but our connectivity will bring us tools unimaginable even just a few years ago. Our challenge, our generation's unique challenge, is learning to live peacefully and sustainably in an extraordinarily crowded world.

Smart City: Main challenges Smart cities Extended communication (Home, travels, WIFI, G3….) for users and city operators Mobility (Public Transport and virtual collaboration) Transportation Intelligence Transportation systems Inter modality – new added value services for users (attractively) Environment Energy saving – C02 reduction Impact on systems (Physical and IT) Exchange of data Open Architecture (platform) Interoperability Extended supervision capabilities Complexity management

Some basic definitions Interoperability Functional ability of two or more systems to interact or to be used easily or automatically in combination with each other A needed quality in the ICT-embedded industries Provides connectivity between hardware or software and between entities (government/business/citizens) Increases flexibility and agility, reduces costs and implementation time Open Standard Specifications describing program or device characteristics, available to the technical community and vetted through open process like : W3C (World Wide Web Consortium), OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) WS-I (Web Services-Interoperability Organization), OMG…

Today Business goals through ICT Increasing collaboration within and among enterprises and governmental bodies during their entire product and service provision life cycle is a global trend. Most of these organizations are transforming themselves into "networked organizations". These new collaboration concepts are especially relevant for SMEs. Related IT systems and applications need to be interoperable in order to achieve seamless interaction across organizational boundaries and thus realize networked organizations.

Your ICT systems cartography The challenge... IT Realities As they say, the devil is in the details. Today, businesses have ever increasing complexity in their business model, business processes and the systems upon which those processes run. They also have a substantial investment in that infrastructure that most can ill afford to simply toss out. The IBM strategy not only recognizes that reality, but is optimize in ways that allows business to make that evolution to on demand incrementally, while leveraging past investments in corporate IT assets and skills. This is a real architecture diagram from a real IBM client. It demonstrates the complexity of the problem facing many companies today. The scary thing is that this was chart 1 of 4.

THALES ICT policy : Towards Open System Open Systems Ensure flexibility & Interoperability Avoid vendor lock-in / Drive cost effectiveness Ensure future access to information Maximize freedom of action Open standards Promoting interoperability by using open published specifications for API's, protocols and data and file formats Open architecture Building loosely coupled, flexible reconfigurable solutions Open Source Software Promotes standards Leverages community development and collaborative innovation OPEN SYSTEMS 10 Open Computing: Staying…..Open for Business Open standards, open architectures and open source software can all move a company’s systems to greater degrees of flexibility, resilience maximizing freedom of action. Adopting open technologies is not the only way to address business needs, and in some limited cases, may not always be the most expedient. However, there is little doubt that software technology will continue to move from closed, proprietary base infrastructure to open, standardized platforms, allowing software innovation to take place higher up the software stack.

Today’s Architectures of Supervision Systems Silo approach: one application for each function SCADA ATS Ticketing Public Information Access Control Video Management Voice & Data Pros Cons Highly modular  Modifying any module does not impact the others No integrated MMI  Human based global situation awareness Solution based on various protocols Many servers needed 14

Today’s Limitations of Supervision Systems Complex lifecycle management of the system Silo architecture : many different applications to maintain and many interfaces to manage Super-SCADA : high risk of regression due to the complexity of the software. Lack of decision support when alarms occur Manual actions required to follow paper procedures Risk of not following correctly the procedure, problems of coordination between operators, … Operators training not realistic enough The simulation does not enable to simulate complex incidents 15

M.A.E.S.TR.O* Main Objectives Provide a system both modular and integrated Integrate any application (Thales, legacy or 3rd party applications) and control them by an integrated MMI Easily replace any application without impacting the others Modify interfaces between the applications without modifying the applications themselves Provide as much as possible automated system response in case of specific incidents Provide Training & Simulation Capabilities Take benefits of Thales expertise in Training & Simulation for transport, energy, and military domains (3D synthetic environment, human behaviour modelling, operational & supervisory training, exercise definition & development,…) * Modular Architecture for Energy Security and TRansport Operators 16
