Introduction

● Water management system as a strategicelement in Smart Cities

● Integration of several elements: pipes,depuration elements, valves...

● GIS as the main system to manage elements

The problem

● Propietary solution for GIS● Generic Data model● Not all needs atended (or yes, but you must to

pay for them)● Restrictions to connect to external systems● Limitations for publish the information

Technology Stack

Migration process (1/9)

Design a system architecture

Migration process (2/9)

● Redesign data model. A custom data model isneeded to specific problems.

Migration process (3/9)

Create a geometric and thematic validationsystem acording to the data model

Migration process (4/9)

Create a geometric and thematic validation systemacording the data mode

Migration process (5/9)

Matching between two models and import data

Implementing functionalities (6/9)

Connecting to several subsystems

Point In Time Recovery (PITR)

Implementing clientfunctionalities(8/9)

Trace utility

Case Study: SmartWater (FIWARE)(Smart City world congress, Nov. 2016)

Conclusions and future work

● IT solution for Smart Cities● It is possible to make a full solution in FOSS● Migration from propietary to FOSS. Just one

time.● Interoperability between several systems● Flexibility and scalability to new requirements● DSS as next step for the system
