Barbara Sheeley, Boeing SE: Key Observations from July 12-15 INCOSE Symposium

• SE growth is occurring in non-DoD areas– But, DoD is helping (i.e., Lockheed has developed a virtual hospital environment)– Supported in the Academic SE Research panel comments

• MBSE is growing and is needed– Definition of MBSE standards, methods and metrics is a near term INCOSE goal– A MBSE environment includes interconnected models (i.e., abstractions of the

system definition), a standard language, and a shared database– MBSE Panel comments:

• A good architecture design is key to making MBSE successful• Integration of architectures can be advanced thru M&S and use of visualization

• UML / OO modeling has many limitations for MBSE applications– Discussed in multiple papers and in the “System Architecting” tutorial

Lou Pape, Boeing SE: SysML and Ontology Tutorials

• SysML taught by Sandy Friedenthal, Lockheed & Joe Wolfrom, APL– Tutorial is available on Conf Proceedings CD and here:

http://www.omgsysml.org – Good introduction to SysML; Helps you understand equivalent ways of

displaying same info– Tutorial charts alone were greatly helped by the discussion

• Ontology taught by Elisa Kendall, Sandpiper Software & Steve Jenkins, JPL– Goal is to represent knowledge unambiguously, and to make “true”

statements– An series of agreements on: vocabulary, syntax, semantics & rules of

inference– More than a Taxonomy; Heavy influence on metadata selection– Relations between OWL, UML, RDF, Semantic Web, reasoners,

inference engines, standards– Always a work in progress; an ontology is good until you find a counter

example – then you fix it and continue

IS 2010 Academic Forum

Founder Systems Engineering Graduate Program

Missouri University of Science and Technology

IS 2010 Academic Forum

• The academic forum is a regular feature at INCOSE International Symposia. It is the place to discuss and debate questions pertaining to systems engineering, education and research, involving SE managers, academic staff, researchers, students, grant-funding agencies and industry practitioners.

• Like INCOSE 2009, it assumed a debate-discussion through a panel format.

• All panels are videotaped by Missouri University Science and Technology on behalf of INCOSE and will be archived at INCOSE web site.

• There will also be an article summarizing the forum in INSIGHT later in the year.
