Abstract:  

The Requirements Table block allows you to find errors in your system earlier by analyzing requirements for 'completeness' and 'consistency' before you even begin your design!... This is the story you are told every time someone talks about the Requirements Table block, but there's a more valuable picture to be painted. By making use of Simulink Design Verifier, Simulink Test and Simulink Coverage, we can generate testcases from our modeled requirements, and verify our design is meeting those requirements without needing to manually write thousands of testcases. And best of all, since we've independently modeled our requirements and our design, our generated testcases have the potential to yield complete requirement, model, and code coverage valid under safety critical verification standards.

Dalton obtained a BSE in Aerospace Engineering and a MSE in Unmanned and Autonomous Systems Engineering from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Dalton worked as a Systems Engineer at Collins Aerospace, developing flight software for the Boeing 777X and Bombardier C-Series Aircraft. At Collins, his main responsibilities were in specification modeling and test case development and generation. In April 2020, Dalton joined the MathWorks as an Application Engineer with a focus in helping aerospace customers best utilize the MathWorks' Systems Engineering, Verification & Validation, and Code Generation tools for DO-178C certification and other high integrity/safety-critical applications.

Abstract:  

Model-based digital engineering offers the possibility of clarity of models that powered the scientific revolution. Among the surprising results of this is realization that, for sufficiently structured  models, some seemingly separate aspects of engineering can be collapsed into a simpler integrated representation. Engineers are accustomed to thinking of mission engineering, stakeholder needs analysis, requirements engineering, optimization of design, risk analysis, and engineering of product line variants as a series of related but different subjects that  collectively add up to a complex problem. In this talk, we will summarize some implications of the question  “What is the smallest model of a system?”  for purposes of engineering and science across the life cycle. We will  take a look at Feature Space, how it reduces degrees of freedom to give a clearer integrated  view of system value, purpose,  risk, and configurability,  along with SysML realization of this approach. 

Bill Schindel is president of ICTT System Sciences. His engineering career began in mil/aero systems with IBM Federal Systems, included faculty service at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, and founding of three systems enterprises.  

He chairs the INCOSE MBSE Patterns Working Group, and served on the lead team of the INCOSE Agile Systems Engineering Life Cycle Discovery Project. He is an active member of the ASME VV50 working group on model credibility in advance manufacturing, and the AIAA digital thread and digital twin case study teams.  

Schindel is an INCOSE Fellow and CSEP, and is a director and past president of the INCOSE Crossroads of America Chapter.  

Top 10 Reasons to attend: 

1. Learn something new that you can use on the job!
The technical program is filled with keynotes, tutorials, presentations, and panels that address the most relevant topics in systems engineering. Come prepared with tough questions to ask our speakers and plan to bring your newfound knowledge back to the office when you return.
2. Take advantage of the program
Enjoy a very diversified and full program on different application domains through keynotes, presentations, panels...Participate in high level Systems Engineering tutorials. Be informed on the latest practices in Systems Engineering.
3. Expand your network of colleagues in the systems engineering community!
New questions arise every day on the job. Consider how great it could be to pick up the phone, or send an email, to ask a colleague with similar experiences how they have addressed the same challenge. Private and group chats will be available during the event.
4. Be inspired!
The convocation of systems engineering includes many forward looking thought-leaders who may offer just the motivation you need to read a new book or learn more about new methods that will benefit you in your daily life, both personally and professionally.
5. Hear the latest announcements from our sponsors!
It can be hard to keep up-to-date with developments in SE throughout the year, so this provides a unique opportunity to gain insights on the latest thinking and tool support for
Systems Engineering. Meet our sponsors/exhibitors in the exhibit hall and through their virtual booth on the event platform. Discover their latest products and services.
