Scope

This Working Group will address mostly physical infrastructure issues with a concentration on the construction of infrastructure facilities in the energy, transportation and, and communications domains. This includes public and commercial facilities and networks necessary for the economic and physical well being of society (e.g., power generation and distribution, waterways and ports, industrial plants, telecommunication networks, transportation facilities and systems, and mining). The Working Group will leverage international systems engineering best practices and produce documents to assist developers and builders of infrastructure systems. This Working Group will collaborate with other domain specific Working Groups such as the Transportation Working Group, the Power and Energy Systems Working Group, the Automotive Working Group, Critical infrastructure Working Group, Smart Cities Initiative, and the Resilience Systems Working Group.

• To grow and fully integrate the CM discipline within SE including all relevant areas of SE (e.g. modeling and simulation-based approaches for SoS).
• To develop a community of CM-specialists within INCOSE (pool of knowledge) through various efforts including, but not limited to: - Developing papers to be presented during International Symposia,
• Establishing project specific working relations with other professional societies and institutions with like interests in CM; a living N2 document shall be maintained to show relationship to other CM focused organizations. ,
• Advancing the body of knowledge regarding CM and its integration into SE and subsequently contributing to the SEBoK/SE Handbook,
