Alta van der Merwe
University of Pretoria
South Africa
Prof Alta van der Merwe is currently the Deputy Dean Teaching and Learning within the Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment and Information Technology. Prof Alta van der Merwe focuses on the design of socio-technical solutions with research activities in enterprise architecture, data science and different theories supporting the successful use of technology in the organization. Her interest also includes the design of systems using innovative and new approaches such as crowdsourcing and content awareness. Prof van der Merwe is serving her second term as president of South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists (SAICSIT). She is the founder and past chair of the South African IEEE SMCS Chapter, specialist editor of the SAIEE Journal (Software Engineering track) and co-founder and past chair of the Enterprise Architecture Research Forum (EARF). On International level she was involved in the proposal and acceptance of the IEEE SMC Enterprise Engineering and Enterprise Architecture Technical Committee, where she still acts as co-chair.
SCOPE
The operating environment of most organizations or enterprises today is increasingly complex and changing rapidly. Leading technology discussions today often refer to the emerging and disruptive technology trends that would dramatically alter our socio-technical and socio-economic landscape in the near future. Technologies, techniques and methodologies that can assist enterprises with not only positioning for disruptive environments but also harnessing of potential benefits provided by the fast changing operating environment, such as included in enterprise architecture and engineering, are increasingly important. A core component of any enterprise approach are the models that need to be developed in order to understand, organize, simulate, design, communicate, implement and integrate all aspects of the enterprise that are embodied in its elements (people, processes, applications, etc.), their relationships to each other and to the environment, and the principles guiding its design and evolution.

Abstract
Decision Support Systems (DSS) are widely used to support organizational and personal decision-making in diverse areas such as engineering systems, finance, business, economics and public policy. They are becoming increasingly critical with the information overload from the Internet. While the scope of DSS is broad, Decision Guidance Systems (DGS) are a class of DSS geared to elicit knowledge from domain experts and provide actionable recommendations to human decision-makers, with the goal of arriving at the best possible course of action.
Currently, the practice of building Decision Guidance (DG) Systems resembles developing database applications decades ago before the invention of the relational Database Management Systems (DBMS). DG applications are typically one-off and hard-wired to specific problems; require significant interdisciplinary expertise to build; are highly complex and costly; and are not extensible, modifiable, or reusable. Therefore, a paradigm shift for the development of DG systems is needed. The key idea is to introduce and develop Decision Guidance Management Systems (DGMS), which would allow fast and easily-extensible development of DG applications, similar to easy development of DB applications using DBMS.
In this talk I will overview research toward this goal, including the recently developed Unity DGMS, and exemplify its use in the area of manufacturing, energy and power. I will also discuss ideas on how to use the emerging DGMS technology to translate the potential and multibillion dollar investment in Internet of Things (IoT) into business value, e.g., through (1) better predictability of demand and inventory visibility, (2) better tracking and efficiency of equipment and operating assets (3) accelerated innovation and product support, (4) improved alignment and collaboration among business functions and (5) sustainability and quality through visibility to energy and resource consumption.
