If you hang around those applying model-based systems engineering (MBSE) long enough, you will eventually hear a passionate debate regarding whether a document is a model. For the general public, this sounds about as compelling as the question “is it system engineering (singular) or systems engineering (plural)?” While both may …

Over the last nine years, many engineering organizations and countless systems practitioners have invested significant time and energy into the transition from document-centric to model-centric systems engineering. During this time, we have made notable progress. Unfortunately, we have also contributed to – if not created – several myths and misconceptions …

When considering the adoption of model-based approaches and techniques, organizations frequently ask “what is the biggest challenge we will face?” It is a good question, one that deserves a good answer. While model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is clearly the future of systems engineering, adopting model-based approaches is not trivial. To …

Its that time again. Once the presents are opened, the carols are sung and the turkey is eaten its time to turn our attention to the New Year. What was once a distant blip on the calendar is now here. Once again we are resolved that this year will be …
