Join us for our 9 April 2024 Chapter meeting featuring:
Main Presentation: "Risk Management and Systems Engineering: The Shaping of New and Future Activities of the INCOSE Risk Management WG", by Jack Stein and Bob Parro
Abstract:
Systems engineers as individuals, and the field of systems engineering as a whole, are faced with an enormous challenge. Increasing system complexity, and ever more rapid and unpredictable developments and changes in technology, and in the socio-technical environments in which we will engineer and use the systems of the future, are creating levels of uncertainty, risk, and opportunity never before encountered.
In response, the practice of risk (and opportunity) management, in general and specifically as related to systems engineering, are undergoing significant change.
This presentation will inform attendees of recent changes in the practice of risk (and opportunity) management, and will provide an overview of INCOSE Risk Management Working Group (RMWG) current and future planned activities. The session will include an open Q&A segment, and is intended to be engaging two-way exchange of information, thoughts and ideas, aimed at directing, prioritizing, and improving the activities and work products of the INCOSE RMWG.
Bio:
The INCOSE Risk Management Working Group (WG) was established in 1998, making it one of INCOSE’s longest running working groups. Currently, the WG has just over 120 members world-wide. The size and scope of activities of the WG are expected to increase as fundamental changes in the concepts, principals and practices of risk management defined in the 1st (2009) edition of overarching international risk standard ISO 31000, Risk Management — Principles and guidelines, are implemented in an increasing number of organizations and systems engineering projects and programs. These changes are reflected in ISO/IEC/IEEE 16085:2021, Systems and software engineering — Life cycle processes — Risk management, and in the 5th Edition of the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook.
Bob Parro and Jack Stein share in the chair-person duties of the Risk Management WG, making sure the WG is represented at monthly TechOps meetings and Annual International Workshops (IWs). As WG co-chairs, Jack and Bob have co-authored the Risk Management sections of both the 4th and 5th editions of the INCOSE SE Handbook. Together with WG member and standards specialist Paul Heininger, they represented INCOSE and the WG in the ISO/IEC/IEEE 16085:2021 work.
Jack Stein resides in Michigan and is a Past President of the INCOSE Michigan Chapter. Bob Parro resides in the Chicago area and is a Past President of the Chicagoland Chapter. They are both strong advocates of WG-Chapter interaction.
INCOSE Los Angeles Workshop: Advanced Topics in Modeling and Simulation with SysML
Meeting Title: Advanced Topics in Modeling and Simulation with SysML
Presenter Name: Casey Medina, Studio SE
Date: Saturday, 15 April 2023
Time: 8:30 am - 4:00 pm PDT
Venue: Zoom
Registration: http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?oeidk=a07ejo4e0kg0c9f24bc&llr=l4ihvgeab
Abstract:
Exploring Advanced Topics in Modeling and Simulation in SysML, with Casey Medina, CSEP, OCSMP.
This highly interactive and hands-on experience will explore the use of Catia Magic Cyber Systems Engineer and Magic Model Analyst to describe and analyze a real-world problem. While everyone is welcome, this workshop is well-suited to individuals who have basic understanding of the SyML language. We will explore behavioral and structural descriptions and learn how SysML simulations can be used to evaluate our models. The skills we discuss are excellent additions to any modeler’s toolkit.
