(Part II of this series is available here.) I regularly receive questions from customers wanting to apply GENESYS to their particular systems engineering challenges. Each one is different, and I always love learning about the situation and seeing if I can help. (Just a reminder: we are always here to …

Systems are truly a family affair. As the concept of systems becomes more significant in the way we think and solve problems, it is increasingly apparent that there are several disciplines, which “specialize” in the study and design of systems. Each discipline views systems from its own perspective, which is …

Systems engineers routinely treat all systems as if the principles used to design systems are created and applied by human designers. But the principles of systems design are derived from the way systems function in the natural world. This is most sharply illustrated when a system design is altered to …

Requirements management is made easier when model-based systems engineering is based on a systems metamodel. An MBSE tool with a systems metamodel behind it is thoroughly integrated, allowing us to be more rigorous and deliberate in our systems engineering efforts. Last month, I discussed the process of refining requirements using …
