Orlando Chapter March 2010 Meeting
(Posted 14 March 2010)
About the Presentation: Sam LeStourgeon, IBM Public Sector smart water, grid & buildings Municipalities today face a myriad of challenges like never before. With less money, cities have to be smarter about delivering services, public safety, providing economic development and managing local utilities. Yet, some are doing just that. Find out how leading municipalities are leveraging relatively simple technology in uncommon ways to provide better standard of living at a lower cost. Federal stimulus dollars are also playing a role. Where are these opportunities and how might you participate? About the Speaker: Sam LeStourgeon is the Business Development Executive for IBM US East Public Sector focusing on smart water, grid and buildings. He started with IBM 33 years ago as a systems engineer and evolved into a sales role. He has covered public sector accounts for 23 years. As an Electrical Engineering Purdue graduate Sam has always enjoyed using common things in uncommon ways. In 2009, his pursuit of sales caused him to spend time learning and showing others how to apply technology to manage the traffic in city sewers to save 100s of millions of dollars. Now he is learning more about similar technology for clean water, smart grid and smart buildings. Sam’s most prized accomplishment is having two and later, all three kids graduate from college. 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. 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.
