Latest Edition of Systems Engineering Journal Available Here Systems Engineering is a regular publication by INCOSE that aims to supply the most current and innovative research and field reports to aid in the strategic planning and management of the engineering of systems. Orlando Chapter February 2010 Meeting
(Posted 8 February 2010)
About the Presentation: Systems engineering is believed to have high value in the development of complex systems, but until recently there has been little data to quantify that value. Now, Eric Honour is presenting the results of over a decade of research into the quantified value of SE. These major results, based on interviews with 51 programs, show the statistically proven relationships between systems engineering (SE) activities and the technical, schedule and cost success of programs. The results show that nearly all SE activities correlate with better project success, and provides detailed values that begin to answer how much is enough. Results also show, somewhat surprisingly, that current SE activities do not correlate with the technical quality of the product systems. You won't want to miss this truly seminal information! About the Speaker: Eric Honour has been in international leadership of the engineering of systems for over a dozen years, part of a 40-year career of complex systems development and operation. His energetic and informative presentation style actively involves class participants. He was the founding Chair of the INCOSE (International Council on Systems Engineering) Technical Board in 1994, was elected to INCOSE President for 1997, and served as Director of the Systems Engineering Center of Excellence (SECOE). He was selected in 2000 for Who's Who in Science and Technology and in 2004 as an INCOSE Founder. He is on the editorial board for Systems Engineering. He has been a systems engineer, engineering manager, and program manager at Harris Information Systems, E-Systems Melpar, and Singer Link, preceded by nine years as a US Naval Officer flying P-3 aircraft. He has led or contributed to the development of 17 major systems, including the Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation systems, the Battle Group Passive Horizon Extension System, the National Crime Information Center, and the DDC1200 Digital Zone Control system for heating and air conditioning. Mr. Honour now heads Honourcode, Inc., a training and consulting firm offering effective methods in the development of system products. Mr. Honour has a BSSE (Systems Engineering) from the US Naval Academy, MSEE from the Naval Postgraduate School, and is a doctoral candidate at the University of South Australia based on his ground-breaking work to quantify the value of systems engineering. Note: Note that it's the 4th Thursday of the month. Also note that the location is the new SAIC building right next door to the existing SAIC building. Hope to see you there. Model-Based Systems Engineering Best Practices
Full Day Tutorial: Friday, February 26th, 8:30 - 5:00 held at UCF Institute for Simulation and Training (IST) Model-Based Systems Engineering Best Practices by Dr. Hans-Peter Hoffmann This tutorial gives an introduction to the IBM Rational Best Practices for Model-based System Engineering. Using the UML/SysML as modeling language, these best practices support the elaboration and verification/validation of system requirements as well as the design synthesis though model execution. For each of the SE phases: Requirements Analysis, Functional Analysis, and Design Synthesis (incl. architectural analysis through trade studies) the essential tasks and associated work products as well as the hand-off to the subsequent HW/SW development will be addressed. The IBM Rational Best Practices for Model-based System Engineering are tool independent. In the afternoon session the participants will apply the Best Practices hands-on using the Rational Rhapsody&trade tool. This tutorial is the start of a three part System Engineering series. The next two tutorials in this series will concentrate with hands-on current System Engineering tools.

(Posted 3 January 2010)
About the Presentation: The presentation is about the Applicability of knowledge Management to Systems Engineering. About the Speaker: Atul Patel is Director of Systems Engineering at Lockheed Martin. He has over 20 years of experience in the aerospace and defense industry. Note: Note that it's the 3rd Thursday of the month. Also note that the location is the new SAIC building right next door to the existing SAIC building. Hope to see you there. 2008 Headlines 2007 Headlines 2006 Headlines 2005 Headlines 2004 Headlines |
