Title: Tracking Systems as Thinging Machine: A Case Study of a Service Company,
Abstract: Object tracking systems play important roles in tracking moving objects and
overcoming problems such as safety, security and other location-related
applications. Problems arise from the difficulties in creating a well-defined
and understandable description of tracking systems. Nowadays, describing such
processes results in fragmental representation that most of the time leads to
difficulties creating documentation. Additionally, once learned by assigned
personnel, repeated tasks result in them continuing on autopilot in a way that
often degrades their effectiveness. This paper proposes the modeling of
tracking systems in terms of a new diagrammatic methodology to produce
engineering-like schemata. The resultant diagrams can be used in documentation,
explanation, communication, education and control.
