Beschreibung

Systems Engineering for the Digital Age Comprehensive resource presenting methods, processes, and tools relating to the digital and model-based transformation from both technical and management views Systems Engineering for the Digital Age: Practitioner Perspectives covers methods and tools that are made possible by the latest developments in computational modeling, descriptive modeling languages, semantic web technologies, and describes how they can be integrated into existing systems engineering practice, how best to manage their use, and how to help train and educate systems engineers of today and the future. This book explains how digital models can be leveraged for enhancing engineering trades, systems risk and maturity, and the design of safe, secure, and resilient systems, providing an update on the methods, processes, and tools to synthesize, analyze, and make decisions in management, mission engineering, and system of systems. Composed of nine chapters, the book covers digital and model-based methods, digital engineering, agile systems engineering, improving system risk, and more, representing the latest insights from research in topics related to systems engineering for complicated and complex systems and system-of-systems. Based on validated research conducted via the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC), this book provides the reader a set of pragmatic concepts, methods, models, methodologies, and tools to aid the development of digital engineering capability within their organization. Systems Engineering for the Digital Age: Practitioner Perspectives includes information on: * Fundamentals of digital engineering, graphical concept of operations, and mission and systems engineering methods * Transforming systems engineering through integrating M&S and digital thread, and interactive model centric systems engineering * The OODA loop of value creation, digital engineering measures, and model and data verification and validation * Digital engineering testbed, transformation, and implications on decision making processes, and architecting tradespace analysis in a digital engineering environment * Expedited systems engineering for rapid capability and learning, and agile systems engineering framework Based on results and insights from a research center and providing highly comprehensive coverage of the subject, Systems Engineering for the Digital Age: Practitioner Perspectives is written specifically for practicing engineers, program managers, and enterprise leadership, along with graduate students in related programs of study.

Foreword

As a former Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology, I have had the privilege of chairing the Advisory Board of the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC) and the 20+ Universities working within the SERC. SERC was established in 2008 as a government-designated University Affiliated Research Center (UARC). The principal sponsor of the SERC is the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering in the U.S. Department of Defense, which was part of the office that I held.

As Advisory Board Chair, I have been exposed to 5+ of the 15 years of research focused on an updated systems engineering toolkit (methods, tools, and practices) for the complex cyber-physical systems of today and tomorrow, and the inclusion of new tools including Model-based Systems Engineering and Augmented Intelligence (which I have considered to be a more representative term than Artificial Intelligence).

The impact of the SERC on the state of systems engineering practice and education has been truly profound. This book features a total of 41 chapters, organized into eight topical clusters. The contributor’s list is a “who’s Who” listing of researchers and practitioners of system engineering. And with this book as a base, there is a complementary Body of Knowledge for Systems Engineering (SEBoK) – the most popular systems engineering website in the world with over 50,000 unique visitors every month.

This book addresses methods, tools, and practices at multiple levels – from enterprise level to program level. It provides many examples in which the methods, tools, and practices are applied.

I highly recommend this book to those studying systems engineering and those practicing. I most certainly concur with the statement that this book has been successful in translating some of the mature research inspired by the SERC into a compendium of chapters, organized into topical clusters, for the benefit of practicing engineers in industry and government.

Preface

The Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC) was established in the Fall of 2008 as a government‐designated University Affiliated Research Center (UARC). The SERC has produced 15 years of research, focused on an updated systems engineering toolkit (methods, tools, and practices) for the complex cyber‐physical systems of today and tomorrow. The principal sponsor of the SERC is the Office of the Under‐Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering in the U.S. Department of Defense. A unique governance element of the SERC is its establishment as a national network of preeminent universities in the United States focused on systems research.

The impact of the SERC on the state of systems engineering practice and education has been profound. Examples include the Body of Knowledge for Systems Engineering (SEBoK) – the most popular systems engineering website in the world with over 50,000 unique visitors every month; GRCSE – the first graduate reference curriculum for systems engineering; the Mission‐Aware Security methodology for assessing system architectures for cyber‐resilience; and a diversity of research projects to support the transition of digital engineering from strategy into practice including advanced tradespace analysis methods, modeling methods for digital project workflows, digital engineering measurement methods, and digital engineering competencies. Therein lies the focus of this book – translating some of the mature research inspired by the SERC into a compendium of chapters, organized into topical clusters, for the benefit of practicing engineers in industry and government.

This book features a total of 41 chapters, organized into eight topical clusters. Each of these chapter clusters was organized and edited by the following cluster leaders. Every one of the cluster leaders has been a principal investigator on multiple research projects within the SERC:
