Innovate or Die: The Imperative for Change - Tech Presentation by Jon Clauss

Abstract: The need for change and innovation are often talked about like they are ‘a good idea’, or somehow optional. History shows that companies that fail to innovate or evolve with the changing times will soon cease to exist or exist in the same form. This presentation will explore the history of Lockheed Martin and other cases, to show this and serve as a ‘call to action’ to transform how we do business and drive us to innovate.

MBSE for PLM: Part of the Digital Systems Life Cycle

Presenter: Sarena Gazic and Raymon Smith

Abstract: This presentation is about the practical application for modeling as it is applied to the amalgamation of disparate data in the deployment of information systems. The focus of the approach entails the modeling of people, processes, and system data that are required through the ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 System Life Cycle Processes. In this approach, we are using SysML (Systems Modeling Language) to connect what is deemed essential in requirements to the structure and behavior of the fielded tool. This system model shapes the deployment for the PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) environment and interfaces to legacy systems. The presentation also discusses model-generated artifacts that are used for tool deployment, external system integration, and end user training.

Her company sets up modeling environments, trains users in UML/SysML/UPDM, develops automation tools, and develops systems engineering products. Prior to that she worked for 3 companies in the defense industry on most phases of the program lifecycle. She has 19 years of model based engineering experience, including large programs with distributed users. She has a B.S. in Applied Mathematics with a Physics concentration.

Raymon Smith is a Project Manager for StraCon Services Group. He is currently leading a team in deploying a Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach to Product Lifecycle Management tool implementation. Raymon has over 10 years of DoD experience spanning systems engineering from requirements and architecture definition to mechanical and electrical design through verification and validation. Throughout his time working with the DoD, Raymon has focused on how to better design and support complex defense systems by implementing sophisticated digital tools that enable a holistic lifecycle understanding. He has a M.S. in Systems Engineering from the Naval Postgraduate School and B.S. degrees in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering.

Contributor: Phil Brown

更多

Phil has been a member of INCOSE for over 20 years. In 2001, the then president of INCOSE met Phil in the hall at the IS in Melbourne, Australia to say the INCOSE BOD had approved budget for becoming a member of ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology). Fast forward to now, Phil is currently our delegate to ABET.

Below is Phil's report to the Academic Council at the IW in Jacksonville. It will give you an overview of what we are doing. The second attachment are the slides presented to ABET’s Engineering Area Delegation on 23 March in Baltimore. It announces our intent, along with six other societies, to propose a program criteria for undergraduate programs in systems engineering. You will also note we are hosting a workshop in conjunction with the IS in Washington. The date for that workshop is Sunday, July 8th. Attendance is by invitation only.
