Overview 1. Introduction to the MBCD WG * Missions & Vision 2. WG Structure * Steering Committee * Members Activity Report 4. Future Activity Plan Model-based Conceptual Design (MBCD)

MBCD WG Vision - Develop best practice for model-based conceptual design MBCD WG Mission: Enhance the practise of problem definition and identifying capability needs Develop modelling practise in support of Exploratory Research and Concept Stage MBCD WG and MBSE Initiative The MBCD WG will directly support the INCOSE MBSE Initiative by focusing on the special considerations for modeling during the early conceptual design and exploratory research phases of the systems development process.

Model-based Conceptual Design WG Model-based Conceptual Design WG 2012 Activity Report Joint SETE’12 and APOSE’12 conference in May 2012: Officially accepted as a Special Interest Group of the Systems Engineering Society of Australia (SESA) Organised an MBSE Panel plenary workshop session INCOSE IS Rome MBCD charter was presented to INCOSE Tech Ops on July 8, The MBCD Charter was later approved by INCOSE Tech Ops in Dec, MBCD-WG Meeting at the IS2012 in Rome A plan for developing an MBCD Roadmap and Guide A plan for R&D activities to address the roadmap

The 2 nd MBSE Symposium, with the Model- Based Concept Engineering theme, Nov 27-28, 2012, Adelaide, Australia: Over 90 attendees Technical program consisted of 2-Keynote Speeches, and 15 abstract reviewed presentations and 2 workshop sessions.
