Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) provides rigor to the development of complex products and reduces errors. In reality, products were rarely built from scratch. Instead, they were built upon previous successful products with or without MBSE. Traditional systems engineering methods and processes do not align well with these situations, resulting in high resource wastes and possible quality escape. This talk summarizes these critical challenges and technical solutions for engineering partially developed safety-critical systems. We will review algorithms and a structured process as a new MBSE framework, together with use cases in aerospace industry.
Location: Hybrid. In person: University of Washington, 3960 Benton Ln NE, Seattle, WA 98195, Sieg Hall, Room 324.
