Model Driven Systems Engineering – Second Annual Forum

Second Annual Portland State Univ. (PSU) Systems Engineering Forum
Friday, Sept 13, 2013
9am to 5pm
Portland State University, Engineering Building
Description: Today’s development environments are driving the adoption of systems engineering modeling, and in turn the use of modeling is changing the way systems engineering is performed. The complexity of engineered systems is revealed by the wide range of models employed during development, a reflection of the diverse disciplines that make-up the design team. These models are connected either loosely or tightly depending on the desired level of integration in the system and collaboration within the organization. Those of us involved in the architecture of systems and the integration of components must coordinate these models as seriously as we coordinate customer, financial, and technical inputs.
To meet this demand, systems engineering modeling encompasses graphical representation of the development process, showing ties to design, cost and scheduling, testing, and manufacturing. Modeling capabilities are rapidly
maturing to evolve along with the design itself, to more automatically flow from abstraction to abstraction, with implementation derived directly from the model.
Topics for one-day forum:

• Basic concepts in systems engineering modeling and real examples of current applications

Invited speakers will present:

• Approaches to modeling systems specific to suites of tools
• Applications in manufacturing, software, and electrical engineering
• Higher levels of abstraction and systems analysis as related to systems engineering
• Summaries as part of a panel with ample attendee interaction
