The Body of Knowledge and Curriculum to Advance Systems Engineering (BKCASE) Project includes two closely related products Guide to the Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge A living, authoritative guide to the knowledge most relevant and important to the advancement of systems engineering. SEBoK discusses what is included in the discipline, how this knowledge can be structured to facilitate understanding, and what documents are most important to the discipline. Graduate Reference Curriculum for Systems Engineering Curriculum guidance for systems engineering master’s program, GRCSE makes reference to sections of the SEBoK to define its core knowledge and suggests broader program outcomes and objectives that reflect aspects of the professional practice of systems engineering as discussed across the SEBoK. These products are available at November 2015FEAPO Plenary3

Complex Systems WG Charter We operate at enlarging the intersection of Complex Systems Science and Systems Engineering, focusing on knowledge that is not addressed in current systems engineering documentation such as standards, handbooks, and textbooks. Applicable sciences include chaos, complexity, complex adaptive systems, nonlinear dynamics, network/graph theory, social science, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, ecology, and others. We will develop useful products that will help INCOSE members and their organizations perform systems engineering better, based on knowledge from these sciences. Although analysis is important, the goal is to make a difference in synthesis (creation of new systems) as well. Planned work Expand on Mat French MBSE in Complexity Contexts work begun in 2014 Expand on selected Primer topics; evolve into wiki to facilitate evolution and access; develop annotated complexity bibliography Begin development of a Maturity Model for the Complex SE capability of an organization or endeavor 17November 2015FEAPO Plenary

Decision Analysis WG Charter Purpose –Advance the state of the practices, education and theory of Decision Analysis and its relationship to other systems engineering disciplines. Goal –Expand and promote the body of knowledge of Decision Analysis and its benefits within the Systems Engineering community. Scope –This technical working group will cover activities that are generically applicable to current and future Decision Analysis practices thru the product development and project life cycle for any and all domains and industries. Planned work –Write Book to address top 5 CAB need on making effective trade studies. –Author Tutorial on Decision Analysis and Trade Studies 18November 2015FEAPO Plenary

19 Model-Based Conceptual Design Working Group 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 Planned work - SETE2015 Plenary/Workshop MBSE ASEW 2015 Workshop at the INCOSE IS2015 Pain Points Survey Team MBCD Case Study / Best Practice Guide Team Return On Investment (ROI) for MBCD – Identify a research question and look to sponsor a PhD investigation November 2015FEAPO Plenary

20 MBSE Patterns Challenge Team S*Patterns are re-usable, configurable, S*Models. S*Models are MBSE models satisfying the S*Metamodel. S*Metamodel: The smallest set of elements necessary for system life cycle purposes of engineering and science (ISO or otherwise). Modeling language independent: use SysML, IDEF, or your personal favorite language—but cover the S*Metamodel elements. Tools independent: mapped to multiple third party COTS modeling tools, PLM systems, and databases.

SEQual Project Charter WG Purpose: Zero-fault systems. The SEQual Project intends to foster and foment ethos and action toward Zero-Fault systems thereby revitalizing the aspect of system engineering that ensures operational system fitness for purpose. WG Goals: 1)Foster and foment a Fault-free ethos throughout the INCOSE membership and their beneficiaries. 2)Show how to achieve system operational availability in deployed systems equivalent to that demonstrated in Acceptance Tests. 3)Disband when exemplary operational systems are the norm rather than the current experience of ‘less than 50% of those attempted.’ WG Scope: Compressing SE cycle times to 1/3 current practice despite system problematique increasing in Extent, Variety and Ambiguity; Including autonomous systems for non-deterministic problem situations while handling increasing kinds and quantity of threats from cyberspace. Understanding and applying new technologies that enable a order of magnitude leap in a system’s ownership value throughout its life cycle. Planned work: Examine Fit For Purpose Assessment provisions in Standards, Handbooks, Guides, Guide to SEBoK and in the foci and products of INCOSE initiatives and WG’s. Produce ConOps for “Fault detection and removal from Day 2 of a system project through Year N of a system useful life.” 23November 2015FEAPO Plenary

Very Small Entities WG Charter Purpose Systems Engineering concepts have been adopted and adapted by most industries in various domains (Aeronautics, Defense, Space, Transportation, Telecom, Information Systems, Bio Medical…) for development of product and services. In the context of very small and micro enterprises and small projects (VSEs), these concepts can be used or tailored to improve: Product development efficiency (including costs and delays) Product Quality Goal To improve and make product development within VSEs more efficient by using Systems Engineering and Systems Thinking concepts Elaborate tailored guidance to apply, in the context of either a prime or subcontractor role to small projects To contribute to standardization in the context of Systems Engineering and Systems Thinking Planned work SEBoK – Develop and coordinate SEBoK content Develop VSE Use Cases Review Project Manager’s Guide to SE Measurement for Project Success 24November 2015FEAPO Plenary
