TITLE: Strategies and Best Practices for Managing Complex System Architectures
ABSTRACT: As the paradigm shifts towards the adoption of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), the Change and Configuration Management of digital models and handling of complex digital project model architectures emerges as critical area of focus as traditional document-based methods fall short in addressing the unique demands of digital model management. While change and configuration management is a widely recognized procedure in conventional document-based systems engineering, its implementation in digital models is comparatively less established. New capabilities and tools that simplify the management of digital models have been provided with the implementation of MBSE. The increased capacity of these skills makes digital processes and procedures more suitable for management than their traditional counterparts. Currently, the industry is saturated with many approaches for managing digital models coming from a traditional document-based perspective. Many questions emerge when none of the approaches are suitable for the project model architecture and leading to a perceived gap in capability that prevents MBSE adoption. The goal of this presentation is to demystify complexities surrounding digital model management, communicate considerations for management of digital models, and propose model architecture patterns that support the effective handling of models throughout their lifecycle.

The Gold Circle Award recognizes the chapter for reaching the highest goals and standards established by our organization. Additionally, the chapter is awarded the Director’s Award as the Most Improved Chapter in 2023.
For many, chapters provide the primary day-to-day interface with INCOSE. Chapters organize technical and social programs, communicate key information about our organization and discipline, support technical activities, and enhance the member experience by facilitating an open, inviting environment where members receive valued products and services that enhance their careers. In fulfilling this mission, the chapter leaders and members have committed significant time and energy to further the goals of our organization.
