(UPDATE 12 DEC 05)
About the Event: As our way of thanking each of our members for their terrific support this year, INCOSE Orlando would like to extend an invitation on behalf of the officers and board of directors of the Orlando Chapter to come out on Thursday, December 15, 2005, to the SAIC Main Building, corner of Science Drive and Ingenuity Drive in Research Park, in Orlando, for a spectacular holiday year-end event. Special Holiday Buffet includes a variety of entrees, salads, vegetables, and desserts. About the Program: Perhaps you are aware that the ATC says the skies are full, our Pilots and Airlines are begging for free-flight, the Airlines crews have made sizable "give backs" in their compensation plans, 9 of our top 10 airline stock is rated as junk bonds, our Airports are beyond human scale, passengers must be at the airport 2 hours prior to their flights, passengers are inconvenienced by rigorous security, there are 5,000 public use airports in USA, hub and spoke model frequently requires routing delays, new aircraft cost billions to develop, aircraft represent rich targets for terrorist, and routes are being cancelled due to fuel costs. Our government has been aware of these problems for decades. They have had Congressional hearings, and created funded and unfunded programs such as NASA AGATE, GAP, SATS, PAV. What can we do to improve the air transportation system? We can apply Systems Engineering Analysis of Weaknesses: of current airlines financial model, the National Airspace Resource, the flying public (the Customer), and Local, State, Federal, and Agency Regulations. At the December INCOSE Chapter meeting, we will examine Systems Engineering Approaches solutions to:

INCOSE Orlando Chapter Meeting - Systems of Systems Engineering Concepts
(13 NOV 05)
System of Systems (SoS) Engineering (SoSE) is the concept du jour, but what exactly is it? Some say it represents a new paradigm, while others think that it is just a re-packaging of basic systems engineering principles? This presentation will look at some of the concepts behind SoSE. It will also provide an outbrief from the 1st annual System of Systems Engineering conference that was hosted by the System of Systems Engineering Center of Excellence, as well as the recent NDIA (National Defense Industry Association) Systems Engineering Conference. About the Speaker: Mark Biddle is a senior systems engineer with SAIC's Training and Simulation Solutions (T&SS) Business Unit and has functioned as the Director of Systems Engineering for that organization. He has over 18 years of experience in the field of systems engineering related to simulation and training systems development as well as development and life cycle support of mission critical systems. He is also past president (2004), vice-president (2005), and president (2006) of the Orlando INCOSE Chapter. INCOSE Orlando Chapter Meeting - Value Based Project Selection
(7 OCT 05)
Many professionals and project managers exist in an environment where "everything" is considered top priority. Can that really be true? Can everything really be top priority? What are the consequences of everything being top priority? The most effective organizations ensure valuable resources are focused on the most valuable projects. Selecting and prioritizing projects based on company and organizational values provides focus, clarity and direction. While the benefits may be self evident, the challenge is that organizational values are often conflicting and achieving one objective can be at the expense of another. Additionally, how a company achieves "buy in" from the many project stakeholders in the selection and prioritization process can minimize the negative political gamesmanship that often takes place later when buy in is not achieved. Can the process of "buy in" to the prioritization process be as important as the outcome? The Analytic Hierarchy Process as a value based project selection tool will be presented. Examples of its use for project selection within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration will be shown. About the Speaker: James T. Brown Ph.D., president of SEBATM Solutions Inc., has provided training and consulting services for dozens of companies nationally and internationally. He has sixteen years of NASA experience that includes "hands on" experience as a team member, project manager and serving in executive level organizational leadership roles. He provides consulting services in project management and has served as a subject matter expert for curriculum development with ESI International and provided subject matter expertise to a leading project software vendor. Additionally, SEBATM Solutions Inc. currently supports NASA's Space Shuttle Program for value based project selection and has provided project selection consulting services to companies up to and including the Fortune 100. A recognized authority in project management, he is a frequently invited speaker on project management areas of interest. Dr. Brown has a patent for a project scheduling methodology, and has received numerous awards including "Teacher of the Year" for Industrial Engineering from the Florida A&M/Florida State University College of Engineering; and "Engineer of the Year" from the Cape Canaveral Technical Societies. He is a member of the Project Management Institute and the National Speakers Association.

INCOSE Orlando Chapter Meeting - Engineering Information Modeling
(7 SEP 05)
EIM - Engineering Information Modeling - is a phrase that encompasses a wide variety of software applications that support the modeling of engineering information. So is CAD EIM? Yes, because geometry is used as engineering information, and CAD is about its modeling. How about CAE? Likewise. CAM? Yup. More interestingly, the EIM umbrella covers areas often not considered in the same breath as CAD/CAM/CAE/CAx - things like requirements capture, knowledge capture and management, and concept modeling. EIM provides a meaningful context for all these, and more. From a systems point of view, engineering automation is highly fragmented. Information does not flow seamlessly from concept through delivered, deployed, or completed product. It is a series of automated activities, punctuated by manual hand-offs. It's time to raise our EIM consciousness, so that we can begin to benefit from the leverage that comes only with completely integrated engineering systems. About the Speaker: Dr. Joel Orr brings almost three decades of deep experience, knowledge and leadership to the Engineering Information Modeling (EIM) industry and is regarded as an expert and visionary in business restructuring, engineering automation, and the future of technology. Dr. Orr recently co-founded KollabNet, Inc. KollabNet automates the process of capturing design rationale, resulting in a comprehensive Engineering Information Model. He also founded COMPUTER GRAPHICS WORLD magazine and several industry newsletters. Orr is a long-time columnist for CAE Magazine. Autodesk Corporation named Orr a "Distinguished Fellow," a position he held from 1990 to 1993. In 1997, Bentley Systems made him the "Bentley Engineering Laureate," from 1997 to 2001. Many Fortune 500 manufacturers see Dr. Orr as a major resource in the areas of business restructuring, engineering automation, and the future of technology. He counts among his clients companies such as Ford, IBM, Chrysler, Lockheed, Xerox, Apple, General Foods, Dow Corning; Becton-Dickinson, and U.S. Surgical; U.S. government agencies such as the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force, Army, and NASA; government agencies in several countries; and many other organizations. Orr serves on boards of directors and technical advisory boards for several firms. He is the recipient of numerous industry awards, including North Carolina State University's "Orthogonal Medal" for excellence in computer graphics, and The Ed Forrest Award. An internationally-known speaker, Dr. Orr is listed in "Who's Who." He holds a Ph.D. in mathematics from the State University of New York. INCOSE Orlando Awarded at IS2005
