The application of SE in the U.S. transportation and infrastructure industry is still very inconsistent; however, some clients and projects have become SE curious and started the application of select SE processes such as requirements management, commonly resulting in the use of various RM tools. With the rapid move towards MBSE, there are substantial benefits to managing Requirements-in-the-Loop, avoiding unnecessary tool synchronization and benefitting directly from integrating the requirements with other MBSE artifacts such as actors, use cases, blocks, interfaces, activities, etc. This presentation discusses the real-world application of Model-Based Requirements Management in a multi-billion-dollar project with over thirty different systems during conceptual design. The project uses a collaborative Teamwork Cloud and Collaborator approach in managing, tracking, and verifying various types of requirements, such as contractual and derived requirements, stakeholder needs, and more.

As emerging threats loom on the horizon, the Department of Defense (DoD) relies on Urgent Capability Acquisition (UCA) to rapidly procure critical capabilities. This accelerated timeline demands innovative solutions that enable contracts to compress development time to under two years. Meanwhile, the Rapid Acquisition Process (RAP) expedites the funding process, encouraging successful design and filling capability gaps. However, with products delivered at unprecedented speeds, so must their protection solutions. This tutorial introduces a startup kit methodology that leverages Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to transform a multi-year program protection solution design process into a unified, digital framework for system design, integration, testing, and lifecycle management. By streamlining the protection solution design process, MBSE enables the DoD to support rapid acquisition and stay ahead of ready in a changing world.

 As Australia proceeds with its own sustainable energy transformation, it must reconcile the needs for sustainable, affordable, resilient, and equitable energy services. This presentation exposits a reference architecture as a means of managing the complexity of Australia’s Nexus Infrastructure of Energy, Water and Hydrogen (ANIEWH). It argues that Australia must adopt an integrated approach to infrastructure systems engineering that explicitly tackles the coupling of energy, water, and hydrogen. It further argues that a model-based systems engineering reference architecture provides the disciplinary means by which to tackle this inherent complexity. The Hydrogen-Energy-Water Reference Architecture (HEWRA) is then presented in terms of system boundary, form, and function for the coal, oil, natural gas, electric power, hydrogen, potable water, and wastewater management sectors. The presentation concludes with thoughts on how this work can be further advanced within future initiatives.

This is a practical presentation of a process for Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) model change management across a corporate portfolio. As MBSE gains acceptance in industry practical methods are necessary to manage engineering changes to shared system models. Furthermore, MBSE is implemented in a complex and multi-user environment, so there exists a need for a practical engineering change management process. This presentation would include a process for managing engineering changes across a multi-user environment, utilizing System of Systems Architect 2024 and Teamwork Cloud.

Lean-Agile principles and practices were born from the challenges of software development, but have since evolved to help enable organizations to more efficiently and effectively develop complex cyber-physical systems (CPS) involving hardware, software and firmware. In addition, the increasing complexity of CPSs demands robust model-based systems engineering (MBSE) approaches. Effective modeling governance becomes crucial in large-scale projects developing such systems, ensuring models are accurate, consistent, and contribute to rapid, informed decision-making. Traditional, heavyweight governance structures and practices often clash with the iterative and incremental nature of lean-agile development. This presentation describes several lean-agile modeling governance best practices—using tools such as Cameo, Teamwork Cloud and Jira—that balance the need for modeling rigor and quality with the flexibility and agility required on projects developing CPSs.

Enterprise and system architecture models are driven by the technical domain of their problem space and relevant use cases. The choice of modeling language, such as UML, SysML, or UAF, provides the syntax required to describe the semantics of use cases within the technical domain. The integration of models developed with different modeling languages is difficult as there are no standard conventions for multi-language integration among established, single-language modeling approaches. When considering single-language modeling approaches, mapping between such approaches identifies points where the choice of modeling language can be transitioned to leverage the best semantics for the problem at hand. A method for mapping between modeling approaches is developed and presented. Mapping modeling approaches rather than models enables an estimation of the level of effort required for model integration by assessing the overlaps, gaps, and transformations between each modeling approach.

Change happens. So how can we quantify model change? Which metrics are useful?

Our 2024 MCSS presentation introduced several new SysML/UAF model complexity analysis techniques, namely graph metrics analysis (GMA), graph similarity analysis (GSA), and graph idealization generation (GIG).

This year’s presentation explores teaming and project management applications, including (a) comparing team progress over time, and (b) tracking model evolution over time (such as quantifying and visualizing who created which model elements when). Quantitative results include identifying poor model commit practices and measuring team member contributions. Qualitative results include animating how a model graph changes and evolves over time.

Collaboration between multiple teams is a core promise of MBSE. Nevertheless, as real sets of distributed teams begin to try to collaborate on linked sets of models, numerous configuration management issues arise. Circular links, model cloning, and updates are just a few of the challenges. The problems become especially difficult when the teams work for different organizations without secure direct connections between their separate instances of Teamwork Cloud. System Strategy, Inc has helped the United States Army manage these issues for multiple independent projects. This presentation will cover the use cases uncovered by and mitigation techniques used by System Strategy, Inc. The presentation will also cover improvements in recent versions of Teamwork cloud intended to help customers more effectively manage configurations in such challenging multi-organization projects.

In early 2022, INCOSE released the Systems Engineering Vision 2035, designed to inspire and guide the future of systems engineering for the global systems community. This ambitious vision sets a high standard for the role of systems engineering, expanding its focus beyond the traditional technical system lifecycle to address critical global challenges such as natural resource management and climate change.

While the growing adoption of systems engineering is a positive trend, it also raises challenges. The rapid proliferation of the discipline has led to concerns about inconsistent practices and a dilution of its core principles. In this context, industrial members are calling for more authoritative guidance and standardized approaches from INCOSE. In addition, the digital transformation in all disciplines and business domains is progressing at high speed while the SE discipline is just trying to catch up in this aspect recognizing while it shall be a leading contributor in enabling this transformation. These dynamics underscore the need for a clear strategic reorientation of INCOSE to address today’s complex environment.

This presentation will introduce some key aspects of SE Vison35, emphasize the competitive landscape driving INCOSE’s updated strategic plan and outline its key components. It will also mention some initial tactical priorities for 2025.

This panel will discuss the advantages and experiences of leveraging Generative AI to support a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) within Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Generative AI acts as a force multiplier within MBSE, automating laborious data reduction, analysis, and transcription tasks when dealing with customer-provided documents (specifications), legacy system information, and reference models. Furthermore, Generative AI within MBSE can create elements such as requirements, behaviors, and blocks. This element creation supports the decomposition of a system into lower-level architectures, complete with behavior, structure, ports, and item exchanges, while optimizing for highly cohesive and loosely coupled elements. By leveraging Generative AI, systems engineers gain a significant starting point to analyze competing logical and physical architectures while remaining within the cost, schedule, and performance constraints of the project.

Reliability and Maintainability are critical aspects of systems development, ensuring that equipment and technology operate effectively and are sustainable throughout their lifecycle. Early in the lifecycle, system architecture development approaches often focus solely on logical or functional architecture and fail to account for the need to estimate Reliability and Maintainability using physical components e.g. Line Replaceable Units (LRUs). An initial physical architecture will serve as a foundational framework for integrating reliability and maintainability considerations into the development process. This presentation explores the key components of a Reliability and Maintainability Reference Architecture (RMRA), which leverages a model-based format. The RMRA supports the development of resilient and serviceable systems capable of meeting stringent operational demands.

The global supply chain is a complex system of systems made up of and relying on other complex systems of systems (SoS) to achieve its goals. Recent problems were due to disruptions in the supply chain caused by an overreliance on single sourced suppliers who failed to deliver, transportation disruptions, outsourcing of critical parts, supplies, medicines to distant countries, and/or an overreliance on “Just In Time” for inventory management. This is the case of placing too many eggs in too few baskets, and often just one basket. This paper will look at the supply chain of an example factory system to determine how some of these problems can be predicted, prevented, mitigated, and solved using the UAF, RAAML and assurance case techniques, and the implications on system design.

The Systems Theoretic Process Analysis for Security (STPA-Sec) is a hazard analysis technique based on an extended model of accident causation that identifies component interaction as a cause for both safety- and security-related losses or accidents. This presentation provides an overview of the four-activity STPA-Sec process, and describes how RAAML elements enable systems and cybersecurity engineers to document the results of an STPA-Sec assessment in a Systems Modeling Language (SysML)-based model. Requirements are the principal output of the assessment, and documenting the process in a SysML-based model enables traceability from identified risks to the requirement, and eventually the system element(s) that seek to reduce losses and mitigate the identified risk.

 System architecture models statically define complex systems, particularly in safety, by linking functional and physical architectures. Safety engineers establish a Physical Breakdown Structure (PBS) to identify failure modes and effects through FMECA. Dysfunction analysis identifies anticipated events using statistical studies and operational reports. The safety engineer applies a Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) to model failure combinations. Stochastic simulations estimate probabilities but mainly rely on component failure rates. This paper proposes digitally coupling system architecture (MBSE) and safety analysis (MBSA). This approach is validated using a MiL test bench applied to a seat control system (PCU, ECU, actuators).

SysML v2 is poised to shape the future of our changing world. Are you bringing your old models along for the ride? Even though the v2 specification includes a transformation document for converting v1 models to v2, executing a transformation is far from trivial. 

This presentation identifies a subset of SysML v1.7 elements that are particularly “transformation friendly”, along with some that are “difficult to transform”. It also demonstrates a basic method for modeling with the “friendly” subset. 

This presentation also includes a demo of a v1.7 for v2.0 validation suite. The validation suite alerts users when a "difficult” element type is in their model. It also provides teaching information about the v2 versions of “friendly” elements in their model. This serves as a passive, on-the-job aid for modelers to learn v2 basics.

Use of a standardized reference model for the Dynamic Targeting process can play a key role in Mission Engineering and associated Capability Effectiveness Analysis to more effectively meet mission objectives within a military campaign. Dynamic Targeting is sometimes referred to as a “kill chain” and is comprised of the following steps: Find, Fix, Track, Target, Engage, Assess (F2T2EA).

When planning and conducting a Mission Engineering (ME) study, it is important to have a complete, correct, and coherent model of the Mission Architecture. The Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) has been found to be effective for this purpose. This Dynamic Targeting Reference Architecture can be used in a general manner to help kickstart a mission engineering study that involves targeting activities within an overarching military campaign analysis. This model is made available to Mission Architects as a reference model to help standardize the Mission Engineering modeling approach across programs.

Therefore, the need to identify those capability enablers and ensure their timely deployment is critical to the fleet. To address these challenges, an MBSE-driven approach was developed to:

1. Track when each Capability is delivered to the fleet based on system version and projected installation schedule using external databases.
2. Capture Interoperability across multiple systems to overcome longstanding complexity challenges.
3. Provide dynamic operational views that are filterable by baseline, individual platforms and able to visualize the effects of degraded components.

The United States Air Force is currently investigating the integration of disparate legacy and newly developed Logistics Information Technology (LogIT) systems using varied but related architectures. The success of this integration is contingent on leveraging an established framework that identifies these systems and models the current LogIT landscape, demonstrating the forcing function for system integration. The absence of such a framework creates a demand signal for an integrated reference architecture. In response to this demand signal, the Rapid Sustainment Office (AFLCMC/ROD) is developing a Government Reference Architecture (GRA), enabled by Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Leveraging a system of reference models, integrated via model usage, this GRA supports the development and acquisition of a unified ecosystem of LogIT systems. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss observations and lessons learned in applying MBSE to the future vision of federated IT systems.

Systems exhibit emergent properties beyond their components. Engineered systems, designed for specific purposes, often produce unintended consequences due to linear design ignoring ecological principles. In contrast, natural systems operate circularly, optimizing inputs and outputs without waste, enabling long-term adaptation. Freshwater scarcity exposes flaws in linear approaches—desalination, though essential, demands high energy and harms marine ecosystems with brine waste. This paper explores circularity and biomimicry to redesign desalination. By integrating renewables, solar evaporation, and repurposing brine as molten salt battery material, a circular system can address water scarcity, cut emissions, and repurpose waste. This design applies ecological principles for resource efficiency and resilience, paving the way for biomimetic innovation in desalination.

MITRE’s Snip-It approach creates extension models that enable abstraction of complex, repeatable processes, and focused analysis of individual problems. This SoS model and approach can be shared across multiple projects to support disparate analysis efforts that explore modernization options and various alternatives to maximize mission level performance over a multi-year period. As the world evolves, MITRE’s Snip-It approach facilitates data-driven updates, supporting stakeholder decisions with relevant data. This approach has been applied to distributed SoS encompassing thousands of interconnected systems.

Many companies are transitioning to Model-Based Systems Engineering and have many years of well-established document centric practices. However, many of these companies are now receiving MBSE requirements and are still trying to take a document centric development approach to meeting these requirements. As a result, program leaders are siloing their system models from key development aspects such as requirements, design and test, while making it easier for gaps and missed opportunities to take hold. Program leaders have expressed the fear of model development generating high costs and schedule slips, which has resulted in practices where models do just that. This presentation discusses different experiences with parallel modeling efforts and overcoming these bad practices by integrating model outputs with the system engineering efforts. In doing so, it is easier to demonstrate the return on investment for MBSE to leaders and guide them to a path of cohesive model development aligned with customer needs.

Modern systems are complex ,and the numerous reference architectures can overwhelm systems architects thus hindering their ability to utilize them effectively. This detracts from the benefits of reference architectures and standards, which are to promote best practices, support reusability of common concepts, and provide consistency. This paper aims to use the Architecture Viewpoint for Information Normalization (AVIaN) to identify, select, and deconflict parts of standards and reference architectures that are relevant to a specific system. The team applied AVIaN on an existing architecture set from Field Manual 3-96, reconstructing it into both reference and objective architectures as UAF models. AVIaN was applied using a common scenario - “How does a program apply a new reference architecture to an existing system's architecture set?” - to demonstrate its effectiveness and impact in assessing the referencing architecture's adherence to relevant standards and reference architectures.

As demonstrated in the 2024 DTE&A Hackathon, cybersecurity tools increasingly rely on diverse data sources—threat intelligence, vulnerability scans, catalogs, test data, and mitigation controls. The community coalesces on several ontologies and data schemas to build a robust ecosystem. However, a critical missing input is the system engineering model, which provides essential business context for prioritizing vulnerabilities and generating attack paths. To integrate SysML models with other inputs, they must be unlocked by an effective reverse engineering solution that identifies and filters out the core assertions relevant for cybersecurity. Model-based tools like Dassault Cameo can play a pivotal role in feeding next generation cybersecurity platforms and maintaining the “single source of truth”. This “report from the trenches” discusses the emerging ecosystem including emerging cybersecurity ontologies and data schemas, several modern tools and standardization efforts in this area.

System architectures developed using modeling languages like SysML or UAFML are typically crafted by specialists with in-depth knowledge of systems engineering and modeling methodologies. While these architectures provide a detailed blueprint for complex systems, one of the main challenges is democratizing this information so that it can be accessible and understandable to all stakeholders, including those without specialized technical backgrounds. This democratization process is essential for ensuring broad stakeholder communication and engagement, which is critical for successful project outcomes. Additionally, effective management of system architecture requires the implementation of metrics that can provide insight into the monitoring of the architecture development progress and the management of complexity, and provide support for decision-making. This workshop demonstrates the value of data intelligence technology to build dashboards to explore, manage and monitor complex systems.

CATIA No Magic and CATIA are industry leaders in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Computer-Aided Design (CAD), respectively. MBSE improves system design through structured processes, enhancing traceability, integration, and team collaboration. In contrast, 3D Mechanical Design focuses on creating and simulating physical objects with CAD software. Integrating MBSE with CAD ensures better design accuracy, improved communication between systems and design engineers, and faster development. A major challenge is the manual translation of natural-language Requirements into 3D CAD Parameters, which can lead to errors and delays. Automating this connection reduces inconsistencies, improves design accuracy, and accelerates development. This presentation discusses the tools and methodologies to automate linking MBSE Requirements to 3D CAD Parameters, highlighting the benefits of a unified digital thread and strategies to overcome integration challenges.

As we move further into the 21st century, the industrial paradigm's consequences are increasingly evident. Now is the time to reimagine how we design systems—rethinking priorities, collaboration, and pathways for organizations, governments, and nations. Continuing "business as usual" risks ecological collapse, atmospheric instability, and socio-economic breakdown. The question is: how do we redesign our future as a species? The answer lies in ecology. Ecosystems, with 3.8 billion years of evolutionary adaptation, reveal how systems thrive sustainably, optimize resources, and reintegrate outputs without harmful externalities. By respecting complexity and fostering resilience, nature offers profound insights to address engineering challenges. Systems engineering professionals, equipped to manage complexity, are uniquely positioned to drive systemic change. This panel unites ecological and engineering experts to explore integrating ecological principles into systems design.

This panel will discuss the current state of the Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) within MBSE from an acquisition perspective, focusing on experiences gained from developing and deploying Government Reference Architectures (GRAs). A system leveraging MOSA is anticipated to save time and money when performing technology refreshes and upgrades, while also eliminating single-source supplier risks. Additionally, this approach supports interoperability with external systems that utilize open standards. This allows acquirers to be nimble in the long-term management of the system architecture and its elements, maximizing performance while minimizing impacts to cost and schedule. From an enterprise perspective, acquirers can also ensure that systems within their portfolios are capable of interoperability. We will explore the successes and failures of these GRA deployments, how MOSA was employed, and what the future holds for applying MOSA within MBSE and the broader Digital Engineering domain.

Hindering industry incorporation of Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is a severe lack of skilled MBSE modelers. Training new and retraining active Systems Engineers is vital but insufficient. In response, the non-profit Institute for Digital Enterprise Advancement (IDEA) has developed and deployed the Systems Engineering Technology (SET) program in community colleges. Like the Computer Aided Design skills solution in the ‘80’s, this program provides skilled MBSE Systems Modelers who can assist and extend the reach of the System Engineer. In addition to the language and toolset, training focuses on translating a system into a model, analyzing a system using a model, and interpreting a system from a model. This training is in a variety of forms from a basic certificate, an Associate of Applied Science degree to Veterans’ Skillbridge Program. Graduates are already in industry and more SET System Modelers are being requested. IDEA is working to expand the program across the nation.

Integrating PDF-based standards into Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) projects is traditionally a manual and error-prone process, requiring significant effort to extract, interpret, and map data into SysML models. This paper builds upon the Belcan AI-Assisted MBSE (BAAM) Plugin, expanding its capabilities to automate the transformation of PDF standards into SysML-compliant structures. The plugin extracts, parses, and maps standards data quickly while generating additional abstract structural and behavioral elements and establishing critical relationships within the model. The results demonstrate a reduction in manual effort, improved processing speed, and greater consistency in MBSE projects by ensuring that standards incorporation may be brought forward in the project lifecycle at a fraction of the typical cost. A case study highlights the practical application of the BAAM Plugin and illustrates its impact on the accuracy and scalability of the standards transformation process.

There has been talk about doing Model-Based Acquisition for a number of years. Therefore, it was decided to try applying the tried-and-true Systems Engineering approach to lay out the architecture for the Acquisition approach. Standard Enterprise Modeling methods and tools were then applied using the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF). A set of models and other SE artifacts were then devised to serve as the basis for Digital Acquisition. This presentation will share lessons learned and special challenges that were encountered.
1. Acquisition Model, Structure, and Contents (SOW, RFP, SETR)
2. GRA contents (UAF-based Development of SE Artifacts - CONOPS, SRD, ICDs to Standards (AF & MIL)
3. Contractor Response Model (Navigation pages, Preprogrammed tables for evaluation, etc)

Systems and software engineers have struggled to comply to the demands of DO-178C. The regulation mandates requirements be systematically traced from high-level requirements to low-level detailed designs. A task that seems simple but becomes costly due to having to manually manage multiple model files for both systems and software specifications. The development of model profiles with translators have helped this problem but the process still requires the use of two languages, AADL and SysML. i3 and CMU/SEI are working together to merge AADL and SysMLv2 creating a domain library that defines the needed concepts for RTESC Systems. Using Cameo System Modeler SysMLv2 Plug-in an UAV exemplar project has been developed to demonstrate the new language’s extensibility with a RTESC domain library capable of supporting the rigorous certification requirements identified in DO-178C while providing an end-to-end iterative workflow solution. This presentation depicts the status of this work.

Advances in electronics and embedded software are reshaping the embedded systems landscape, yet managing complexity remains a challenge. Faulty requirements are a leading cause of software errors. A gap persists between system and software requirements, often causing costly redesigns.

Requirements in the loop simulation offer an innovative solution to address these challenges early. Engineers can write functional requirements in a formal yet intuitive language, enabling simulation and verification before design begins. This approach uncovers errors, conflicts, and safety issues, ensuring alignment with system goals.

The benefits extend beyond initial development. Validated requirements can be reused during testing, automating compliance checks across various scenarios and significantly reducing the need for manual testing.

This methodology bridges the gap between systems engineering and software design, reducing errors, and enhancing efficiency to deliver high-quality systems.

Failure Mode Avoidance (FMA) consists of well-defined processes to identify and analyze potential failures of a product. Safety and quality experts use Boundary Diagrams, Interface Analysis, P-Diagrams, Robustness Check Lists, and FMEA tables for safety and reliability analyses. In current practices, analyses remain disconnected from product models and design, making it challenging to maintain traceability and synchronization between the analyses and the evolving data. SysML and a model-based approach enable safety analyses directly on models at the architecture level. As models evolve, the analyses remain up to date with the system architecture, while also allowing for efficient collaboration between systems and safety experts.  The Risk Analysis and Assessment Modeling Language (RAAML) extends SysML to standardize model-based safety and reliability analyses. This paper presents the CATIA Magic FMA plugin, based on the RAAML standard, enhancing CATIA Magic with powerful features for FMA activities.
