Biographies
Sean McCoy is the Chief Architect for controls at Trane. He received his CSEP in 2016, has 13 patents, holds a 6-Sigma black belt, and has over 40 years of experience designing and developing software systems. 27 of those years have been at Trane developing Building Automation Systems and helping develop Trane’s Systems Engineering discipline. Sean has been an active member of INCOSE since 2011 and is the President of the North Star Chapter for 2021. He has been on the GLRC conference planning committee for 2017-2019, and he is a member of the INCOSE Institute for Technical Leadership. His most recent work assignment was leading the effort to develop a holistic System Architecture for Building Automation Systems – from machine controls to the cloud. In his spare time, Sean likes to play guitar and is often seen at Rock Camp Experience events in the Twin Cities.

Jennifer Russell, EISE, CSEP is the Program and Management Support Leader on Garver's Water team and is the Smart Cities Initiative Chair for INCOSE. Over the past 25 years, she honed her West Point leadership motto of being a "Leader of Character." From strategic planning to tactical logistics, Jennifer has invested in public service and infrastructure. The domains of her experience are a testament to the portability of her skill set and include water systems, software systems, high-speed rail, transit systems, highway systems, and multi-modal connectivity. Jennifer holds a B.S. in Engineering Psychology from the United States Military Academy and an M.S. (2003) and Engineer Degree (2007) in Industrial and Systems Engineering from the University of Southern California.

Smart Cities Initiative- As cities around the world are unevenly waking up after a pandemic coma, cities are seeking opportunities to continue evolving toward being ‘smart.’ Cities may wish to take a new approach to provide services that meet the goals of the city and needs of the residents in new and innovative ways. The implementation of such approaches will define the new “smart city.”  We propose a human-centric model to help city authorities to make decisions with human needs in mind. Such a human-centric model will help identify and classify technological investments with the greatest positive impact for their residents. This presentation will introduce this human-centric model, the INCOSE-TUS Smart Cities Reference Model and provide an update on our modeling developments.
