Precise Semantics for Uncertainty Modeling (PSUM) RFP

Precise Semantics for Uncertainty Modeling, Request for Proposals (RFP) was officially issued by the OMG® meeting that took place in Burlingame, San Francisco, USA, in December 2017. The RFP is published here.

This RFP aims to awaken the awareness of uncertainty and pursue a common understanding of uncertainty in system/software engineering of complex systems such as cyber-physical systems and self-adaptive systems, by defining precise semantics for uncertainty modeling.

This RFP solicits proposals for a conceptual model represented as a metamodel, which covers two aspects: 1) Capturing uncertainty and its related concepts and 2) Enabling measurements of uncertainty and uncertainty-related concepts. Please note that based on this core RFP, one can expect a future series of RFPs, which will cover the aspects of 1) enabling various uses of explicitly specified and measured uncertainty (such as facilitating decision making and enabling model-based testing), and 2) addressing various application challenges (e.g., in the domains of healthcare, autonomous driving, and robotics).

Uncertainty RFP Working Group Activities

The Uncertainty Modeling Working Group has been formed towards the submission of Uncertainty RFP to OMG®. See below for details. The working group will mainly focus on four packages: core concepts (WP1), uncertainty measurements (WP2), uses of Uncertainty Modeling (e.g., reasoning, simulation, analysis, decision making) (WP3), and application/domain specific requirements (WP4).

Uncertainty RFI

The Uncertainty Modeling standardization has been kicked off at OMG® in September of 2016 at Chicago IL USA. The Request for Information (RFI) of Uncertainty Modeling at OMG® has been formally released and can be downloaded from here. The RFI response is officially due on 10 of February of 2017. Though the official deadline has passed, we are continuously accepting responses.

RFI Objectives

The intent of the RFI is to gather information for the purpose of guiding a group in its efforts to provide solutions to industry problems. The RFI process is used to canvass a targeted industry segment for one or more of the following purposes:

  • Acquiring industry requirements.
  • Identifying potential technology sources.
  • Soliciting input to validate the roadmap of the group.
