Gavin Arthurs on A Model Based System Engineering Environment Abstract: Interest in using Model-Based System Engineering/Design (MBSE/D) has been steadily increasing in the system engineering community, especially in the Aerospace and Defense domains. The increased use of software as a main component in these systems has increased the level of interactive complexity and coupling to the point that[…]

Frank Alvidrez on Practical DoDAF for System Engineers and Program Management Abstract: In this one-day session, the student is introduced to the practical application of the DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF). Attendees will walk away with a deeper understanding of: The system of systems engineering process Advanced modeling techniques (UML, SysML) The use of architectures in NetCentric operations and[…]

Kenneth Griesi on Introduction to Architecture: A Sub-Discipline of Systems Engineering Introduction to Architecture Principles of the Architecting Discipline Architecting versus Engineering Architecture Specialties: Capability, Enterprise, System, Software, etc. The Artifacts of Architecting Review of Industry-Standard/-Dominant Approaches Architecture in Systems Engineering The Role of Architecture in all stages of the System Engineering ‘V’ Common Lifecycle Models The[…]

John Dill on Model Driven Development with SysML to Support Effective System Engineering Abstract: As systems become more complex the need to improve communication is critical to developing successful systems and products. The SysML standard provides systems engineers and architects a way to collaborate using a common language. As a standard modeling language for systems engineering, SysML will:[…]
