My Recent Papers
Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is the Future of Systems Engineering
MBSE is the formalized application of modeling to support system requirements, design, analysis, verification and validation activities beginning in the conceptual design phase and continuing throughout development and later life cycle phases
Conferences and Workshops - Attendance and Presentations
Grand challenges for systems engineering 2025 includes:
Model-based systems engineering is a standard practice and in integrated with other modeling and simulation as well as digital enterprise functions
Knowledge and investment are lost at project life cycle boundaries and between projects
Assessment of state of systems enginering includes:
Mission complexity is growing
System design emerges from pieces rather than from architecture
“A World In Motion – Systems Engineering Vision 2025”
International Council on Systems Engineering report
MBSE is a Major Advancement in Systems Engineering
Traditional Systems Engineering
Creating and managing the traditional systems engineering artifacts is cumbersome and fragmented
