WP4 — System Requirements specifications and system architecture (Lead: FHG)
Goals & Objectives
- Collect and analyse end-user requirements to design a functional, user-centric system.
- Develop a comprehensive technical and operational framework to ensure the system meets practical needs.
- Establish a high-level architecture to enable efficient, secure system interactions and scalability.
Tasks
- Task 4.1: End user functional requirements collection and KPI refinement (BGFI (L), FHG, All border guards, PPHS; M1-4) This task involves collecting and analysing detailed functional requirements from end users, such as border patrol agents and law enforcement personnel, to ensure the system is tailored to their specific operational needs. The process includes identifying key performance indicators that users prioritize, such as response time, accuracy, usability, and reliability across various operational scenarios. Clear acceptance criteria are also established based on these indicators to define when the system is considered fully functional and deployment ready. To gather comprehensive insights, the task incorporates feedback sessions, surveys, and workshops with end users, capturing their expectations, challenges, and preferences. This approach ensures that the system’s design, features, and performance align closely with real-world requirements and use cases, resulting in a user-centric solution optimized for practical deployment.
- Task 4.2: Concept of operation and technical requirements specification (FHG (L), XLAB, BGUK, BGSK; M1-4) This task focuses on developing the concept of operation and specifying the technical requirements by integrating the technical inputs from developers with the functional requirements collected from end users, creating a unified and comprehensive system architecture. It outlines various operational scenarios, ensuring that the system is designed to operate effectively and meet technical standards in real-world applications. The task also involves identifying and assessing potential risks, such as security vulnerabilities, performance limitations, and integration challenges, and developing appropriate mitigation strategies. Technical elements, including data management and ingestion processes as defined in WP2, are detailed to guarantee efficient, secure, and compliant handling of information throughout the system’s lifecycle. Key performance indicators, such as processing speed, accuracy, and scalability, are specified alongside acceptance criteria, establishing measurable benchmarks for testing and validating the system’s readiness and effectiveness during deployment. This comprehensive approach ensures the system meets both user needs and technical standards, enabling successful implementation and operation.
- Task 4.3: High level architecture (functional and structural) for application modalities (XLAB (L), All technical partners; M2-6) This task involves designing the high-level architecture of the project, establishing a clear and structured framework that defines system components, their interactions, and overall functionality. Scenarios will be developed to simulate different operational conditions, use cases, and workflows, allowing for comprehensive testing and evaluation of system behaviour under various circumstances. Risk assessment formulation entails identifying potential risks associated with the architecture and scenarios, including technical, operational, and security-related risks. This involves assessing the likelihood and impact of each risk, developing mitigation strategies, and establishing contingency plans. The risk management process will be documented and continuously updated as the project evolves to ensure that all potential threats are monitored and managed effectively.
