Abstract: | Smart Computing aims to combine advances in Information and Communication Technologies to create smart systems to make human life better thus, providing a new approach to address many complex and challenging problems faced today by humanity. The study developed a solution to one such problem, uncoordinated agriculture production using Smart Computing which otherwise will lead to wide fluctuation of market prices, waste and farmers getting trapped into a poverty cycle. This was done using a bottom up approach. Using systems thinking in Systems Engineering and the insights gained from the bottom up approach the study derived a top-down approach as a way of guiding the process to solve other similar humanitarian challenges. The evolved top-down process consist of 3 broad steps; a) Root Cause analysis and development of a conceptual solution drawing on learnings from multiple disciplines, b) Development of an artefact based on Smart Computing technologies to implement the conceptual solution, and c) Development of a Closed Loop Control system to continuously monitor and manage the inputs identified in the conceptual solution using the artefact developed to achieve the desired outputs. |
