Join us for our 13 May 2025 Chapter meeting featuring:
Presenter: Marco Forlingieri
Topic: MBPLE: The Feature-Based Path to Product Lines Success
Abstract: Join us for the presentation as Marco presents a clear and concise guide to MBPLE, with industrial case studies described in his book. Model-Based Product Line Engineering (MBPLE) is the only theoretical and practical foundational book on MBPLE that brings together the topics of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and feature-based product line engineering (PLE). It examines how PLE can benefit from a model-based and model-centric approach and, in turn, how MBSE combined with holistic PLE can boost model reuse and improve the MBSE business case.
The book combines both management and engineering aspects to deliver comprehensive coverage of the subject and real-life challenges and implementations of MBPLE, discussing adoption obstacles faced by engineering organizations and how to overcome them to ensure a successful MBPLE deployment.
Bio: Marco Forlingieri is Senior Director for PLE Services at PTC, leading worldwide the PLE technical services, with several years of experience in PLE and MBSE domains across Asia, Europe and US. He is also chair of the INCOSE PLE International Working Group and leading author of the book “MBPLE: The Feature-Based Path to Product Lines Success”.

Webinar 163: Digital Standards from MBSE to Design, Analysis and V&V for Model Based Certification


This is a joint webinar with SAE International
Meeting Title: Digital Standards from MBSE to Design, Analysis and V&V for Model Based Certification
Presenter Name: Saulius Pavalkis, Dassault Systemes - 3DS
Date: Wednesday, 19 October 2022
Time EDT: 11:00 am- 12:00 pm EDT (3:00 pm – 4:00 pm UTC)
INCOSE Webinar 163 Invitation
Webinar 163 Recording
Abstract:
Part three of the three-part series on the benefits of the digitization of standards. In this segment, we begin with a quick recap of the highlights from the value of digital standards in product design and development.
On that foundation, we transition from digital standards in MBSE to full model based engineering solution covering model based design, analysis and validation & verification. We will demonstrate the latest in MBSE and engineering ecosystem for requirements management, baseline, traceability, 3DCAD. We will wrap all activities with model based V&V application for certification.

IMPORTANT – WEBINAR MOVE TO ZOOM PLATFORM
We have moved to the ZOOM platform for INCOSE webinars. One significant change is that we recommend that attendees join audio now using the ZOOM platform audio (Voice over Internet). This worked very effectively for the recent (virtual) International Symposium.
