Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Introduction

In the foreseeable future, urban density is likely to increase, resulting in further urbanization complexity. From this perspective, a “smart community” approach is an important concept to address the urban challenges by integrating different forms of infrastructures in a rational and efficient manner.

An important aspect of a smart community is integrating infrastructures as “a system of systems”. A system of systems (SoS) is the collection of multiple, independent systems in context as part of a larger, more complex system. A system is a group of interacting, interrelated and interdependent components that form a complex and unified whole. In addition to that, smart community has various stakeholders including users, and each smart community infrastructure has an extended scope lifecycle (See Figure 1). A major benefit of a system of systems is that the sector specific performance of all infrastructures can be validated with regard to their contribution to the overall goals of a community. As a result of this validation, these goals can be adapted and improvement targets for each infrastructure can be derived. Thus, an intended concept of a smart community being validated and updated through its lifecycle concerning the integration and operation of smart community infrastructures is realized efficiently at all times.

There are three major issues in developing and operating smart community infrastructures (see Figure 2):

Element (A): allocation of specification requirements to each component of a system and validation of the allocating procedures;

Element (B): specification requirements associated with interaction and adoption of countermeasures into planning and operation;

Element (C): process to facilitate information sharing and communication among stakeholders.

To provide guidelines for the common framework comprised of those three elements that ISO/TR 37152 identifies, the ISO 37155 series has been developed. The series is composed of two documents, ISO 37155-1 and ISO 37155-2. ISO 37155-1 is about the element (B), providing specification requirements to manage interactions and to adopt adequate measures into planning and operation whereas ISO 37155-2 is focusing on the element (A), providing guidelines for specification to ensure consistency of smart community infrastructure and to adopt adequate measures into planning and operation. The element (C), information sharing and communication among stakeholders, is described in both documents.

More and more smart cities are being built and planned across the globe. This has increased the demand to utilize existing guidelines and platforms to develop and operate smart cities and smart community infrastructures efficiently and practically. Experts and government officials responsible for developing smart cities and infrastructures, particularly in developing countries, have argued the benefits of guidelines which enable utilizing ISO/TR 37152 and the ISO 37155 series in a practical manner.

1 Scope

This document provides guidance on identifying risks that can hinder the proper functioning of smart community infrastructures in smart cities, in accordance with the ISO 37155 guideline series, and on implementing mitigation measures. The guidance is particularly for regulatory authorities at both national and community supervisory levels.

Authorities can check that the adoption of appropriate measures and the assignment of specification requirements in each component of the system is ensures in the life cycle of smart community infrastructure. To accomplish this, the framework and perspectives on what (documents, sites, etc.) can be used to ensure accountability for the implementation and its adequacy are presented.

The framework ensures the interactions of smart community infrastructures are managed by adequate specification requirements and the adoption of adequate measures for planning and operation, as described in ISO 37155-1 . Additionally, it aims for consistency between different systems of smart community infrastructures by allocating specification requirements to each component of a system and validating the allocating procedures, as described in ISO 37155-2 .

NOTE This document describes a management case (not a management system), i.e. specific processes that an organization follows to meet specific objectives of this document.
