PLEASE JOIN US on Wednesday, Nov 19th, 2025 from 5:30-7pm Pacific Time for a semi-HYBRID presentation on INCOSE’s Architecture Working Group (ArchWG). This briefing will provide an overview of the ArchWG’s context, activities, and products, including their current ‘grow an architect’ project. We’ll also hear a brief presentation on one of INCOSE’s newest WGs, the Adaptable and Adaptive Systems Engineering and Management (AdaptSEM) WG.
Note – This presentation will be delivered remotely from Texas by Mr. Rolf Siegers, Chair of the INCOSE Architecture Working Group. Join us at the Sapphire Indian Cuisine in Rancho Bernardo (San Diego) to remotely watch and interact and enjoy a selection from the restaurant’s excellent menu!

SYNOPSIS
The INCOSE Architecture Working Group (ArchWG) was formed to help evolve the future of systems engineering. Focused on Enterprise, System, Software, and Hardware architectures, the group helps drive innovation, collaboration, and the evolution of best practices that tie strategy to system realization. Working with other INCOSE groups, global organizations, and standards bodies, the ArchWG ensures architecture remains the backbone of effective, mission-driven engineering.
Composed of both practitioners and researchers, the ArchWG focuses on sharing best practices, refining architecture standards, and identifying emerging trends and styles in architecting. Its ongoing goals include strengthening the discipline within members’ organizations, expanding the use of architecture as an integrating practice, and continuously improving the tools and methods that enable effective, traceable, and lifecycle-aware architectural solutions.
