Presenter & Sponsor BIOs
Rick Dove is a Fellow of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE), and an adjunct
professor at Stevens Institute of Technology teaching graduate courses in agile systems and systems
engineering. He founded and chairs the INCOSE working groups for Systems Security Engineering
and for Agile Systems and Systems Engineering. He is the New Mexico Chapter president for 2015.
He is CEO/CTO of Paradigm Shift International, specializing in agile systems and agile security R&D
and education. As principle Investigator (PI) he has led agile self-organizing system security R&D on
four US DHS and OSD funded projects. He was co-PI on the 1991 OSD funded Lehigh study that
introduced the concepts of agile systems and enterprises, put the word agile into play, and led the
subsequent DARPA-funded research and industry-collaborative working groups during the nineties that
established basic system fundamentals for agile systems of all kinds.
In 1990 he established and led the research agendas and industry-collaborative working group
processes for The National Center for Manufacturing Science. He is author of Response Ability – The
language, Structure, and Culture of the Agile Enterprise (Wiley). He has a BSEE from Carnegie-Mellon
University. Complete bio and publication list at: www.parshift.com/Files/PsiDocs/RkdBio.pdf

Meeting Introduction
I would like to schedule a meeting with Mr. Mann regarding the INCOSE
Enchantment Chapter, the regional representatives for the International
Council on Systems Engineering. We have an upcoming International Symposium
and are interested in determining how best to facilitate dialog and
collaboration among Government and Industry representatives in the Region.
We have been approached by the FAA regarding Technical Interchange Meetings
with WSMR and other regional stakeholders. We are also interested in
informing you further about INCOSE at both the international and regional
level. I am enclosing one of our newsletters and providing links to our
websites. As a former Enchantment Chapter president I would like to
facilitate a meeting with our current Chapter President, Rick Dove. We also
have representatives on the board from Sandia, Los Alamos, and Honeywell to
name a few. In the past I was successful in doubling the size of the local
ITEA conference by bringing in INCOSE representatives that included the
INCOSE president and several national figures. I look forward to a meeting
and further discussions. I would also like to discuss a possible
presentation or webinar from you on the major System Engineering
contributions you have been involved with.

Example Project: The Art of Systems Engineering
Need: Why is there no Julliard of systems engineering schools? Perhaps because
we don’t understand the art of systems engineering; art of a quality that causes
users to embrace engagement with the system, rather than having engagement be
enforced by fiat, or entrapped by the lack of anything better.
Intent: Systems with no learning burden for effective usage and eventual mastery,
that facilitate user productivity and goal achievement, that fit comfortably with the
stakeholder’s and system’s operating environment, that facilitate feature and
capability evolution throughout the life cycle, and that are a joy to use.
Mission: Discover architecting and design concepts and methods that will result
in operationally embraceable systems.
Objectives: Converge on a clear and defensible understanding of need,
opportunity, and considerations with examples - for embraceable system design.
Write a high-quality paper that establishes the art of system architecting and
design as a subject of value to systems engineering, establishes worthiness of
educational attention, and outlines a general set of architecting and design
considerations for embraceable design.
Method: Observe what works and why. Initially, two Fall 2105 ¾ day free
workshops will review and analyze embraceable designs and the designer’s
thinking for fundamental principles.
Outcome: This initial work should be a catalyst for follow-on work.

Example Project:
Agile Systems Engineering Life Cycle Model Fundamentals
INCOSE-Proj-201401
Purpose – Provide necessary & sufficient principles for agile SE processes
compatible with all agile SE practices, organizational cultures, SE community
needs, and 15288 standards.
Objectives
– Discover generic principle-based life-cycle process activity necessary for
effectiveness in uncertain, unpredictable, and evolving SE environments.
– Create actionable knowledge and insight among Host participants.
Scope – Cover a wide variety of agile SE process types.
Method
– 15 three-day workshops in US and Europe.
– Analyze what works and why, then apply learning to a challenge.
– Defense and Commercial Sectors with mixed HW/SW/WW* projects.
– Analyze Host SE Process that dealt/deals with
Uncertainty, Unpredictability, Risk, Variation, and Evolution.
– Apply the action-learning to a Host challenge in need of more agility.
– Facilitate Host participant knowledge & insight development,
2 Host participants must attend at least two additional Host workshops.
