Barbara Sheeley, Boeing SE: Key Observations
from July 12-15 INCOSE Symposium
•
SE growth is occurring in non-DoD areas
– But, DoD is helping (i.e., Lockheed has developed a virtual hospital environment)
– Supported in the Academic SE Research panel comments
•
MBSE is growing and is needed
– Definition of MBSE standards, methods and metrics is a near term INCOSE goal
– A MBSE environment includes interconnected models (i.e., abstractions of the
system definition), a standard language, and a shared database
– MBSE Panel comments:
• A good architecture design is key to making MBSE successful
• Integration of architectures can be advanced thru M&S and use of visualization
•
UML / OO modeling has many limitations for MBSE applications
– Discussed in multiple papers and in the “System Architecting” tutorial

Lou Pape, Boeing SE:
SysML and Ontology Tutorials
• SysML taught by Sandy Friedenthal, Lockheed & Joe Wolfrom, APL
– Tutorial is available on Conf Proceedings CD and here:
http://www.omgsysml.org
– Good introduction to SysML; Helps you understand equivalent ways of
displaying same info
– Tutorial charts alone were greatly helped by the discussion
• Ontology taught by Elisa Kendall, Sandpiper Software & Steve
Jenkins, JPL
– Goal is to represent knowledge unambiguously, and to make “true”
statements
– An series of agreements on: vocabulary, syntax, semantics & rules of
inference
– More than a Taxonomy; Heavy influence on metadata selection
– Relations between OWL, UML, RDF, Semantic Web, reasoners,
inference engines, standards
– Always a work in progress; an ontology is good until you find a counter
example – then you fix it and continue

Founder Systems Engineering Graduate Program
Missouri University of Science and Technology
• The academic forum is a regular feature at INCOSE
International Symposia. It is the place to discuss and debate
questions pertaining to systems engineering, education and
research, involving SE managers, academic staff, researchers,
students, grant-funding agencies and industry practitioners.
• Like INCOSE 2009, it assumed a debate-discussion through a
panel format.
• All panels are videotaped by Missouri University Science and
Technology on behalf of INCOSE and will be archived at
INCOSE web site.
• There will also be an article summarizing the forum in
INSIGHT later in the year.

Thanks for hosting my visit to the
FIRST competition! I had a great
time seeing all the young people
