The 1960’s were a formative decade for systems engineering: the Apollo Program, Boeing 747, North American XB-70, Lockheed SR-71, the IBM System/360, and other iconic programs helped shaped the discipline through their successes and failures. This presentation will touch on the context, practices, outcomes, and lessons learned from several prominent programs and how they impacted systems engineering practice. It will include discussions of how limitations of Document-Intensive Systems Engineering (DISE) were overcome, what modern model-based practitioners can learn from these cases, and a curated list of suggested readings.
This tutorial will focus on examples of using customizations, validation suites, and metrics to improve model value. It will be illustrated using SysML and MagicDraw; it is best suited for intermediate modelers ready to harness the tool’s power to help them craft models effectively, efficiently, and elegantly.
