Systems Engineering and Lawmaking
Mission & Problem Statement
The mission of the Systems Engineering and Lawmaking (SELAW) working group is to assist government in solving societal problems efficaciously by means of laws.
Formed in May 2022, the SELAW WG is dedicated to the improvement of the lawmaking process through the application of systems engineering principles and processes. SE has shown to be effective in improving quality and consistency in many sciences and engineering fields, such as aviation, energy, and manufacturing -- why then, do we not apply the same discipline to lawmaking?
While there are many successful laws, the lawmaking process itself is inconsistent. This often leads to badly designed laws, which in turn leads to ineffectiveness, duplication, obsolescence, and waste. This WG is enthusiastic in applying disciplined systems engineering principles to lawmaking.
Goals and Work Products
The SELAW WG's primary goal is the creation and publication of a law design manual based upon systems engineering standards.
Law design manual sections and topics shall include:
Defects and omissions
in traditional lawmaking
Law design standards
based on systems engineering principles, specifically, the IEEE-15288.
Models for
Sanctions
(fine, tax, tariff, subsidy, licensure, etc.) to achieve the desired outcome
Comprehensive cost
of the law (cost-benefit model)
Risk-assessment
for laws
Standards
for periodic follow-up evaluation and validation of existing laws
Credentials
for designers (drafters) of law-design
SELAW is also working on the following other items
Introduction to the WG, for new INCOSE and non-INCOSE members
Concept of Operations (CONOPS) document, which may be incorporated into the law design manual.
Planned Working Sessions & Presentations
The Systems Engineering of Lawmaking WG meets every third Thursday of the month at 6 PM Pacific Standard Time (PST) via web conference. If you would like to join us, please contact the Chair or a Co-Chair for the URL. Thank you!
Presentation material will vary by month. Please contact us for the meeting agenda.
