Den 2/6 är det dags för Nordic Systems Engineering tour i Linköping. Årets tour går i MBSEs tecken och vi är glada att kunna presentera ett högklassigt program med mycket välrenommerade talare. 

Själva seminariet arrangeras i Hörsalen Terrassen, alldeles utanför Saabs område i Tannefors (i och med att lokalen ligger utanför själva Saabområdet så behövs ingen besöksanmälan). För en karta, se här: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Pk2F12e8BDZQJ24r5?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy Besöksparkering finns utanför lokalen, men anmälan  av parkering sker i Saabs besöksreception. 

För att kunna anmäla dig så måste vara inloggad på www.incose.se. Du kan skapa ett konto utan kostnad under menyn Skapa konto.

Presentationsförteckning

The Lessons the Models Taught us

Presenter: Erik Herzog

Abstract: 20 years ago, in 2005, Saab Aeronautics embarked on a journey to adopt a model-based ways of working. In the course of this journey three new aircraft were born:

- Gripen E - a radical rebuild of the light weight fighter that are in use in five, soon to be six airforces.
- GlobalEye - a high-capability/low-cost airborne early warning system first delivered to the UAE
- T-7A - US Airforce’s new trainer aircraft developed in collaboration with Boeing.

Each of these aircraft and the people who contributed to their development, their triumphs and troubles warrant a dedicated presentation. However, the focus of this presentation is on the experiences and lessons learned from the introduction and application of Model-Based Systems Engineering in the development processes and organisations. Essentially it is about the lessons the models taught us.

More specifically the following aspects will be covered:
Background and objectives - the organisation that was and the organisation to be
Identified modelling domains - and our success in introducing and maintaining them
Lessons learned in terms of:
- Understanding and documenting model purpose
- What is a good model? The importance of understanding its credibility
- Time, Configuration management and Model Architecture - don't mix the tenses
- Islands of automation, islands of modelling - the consequence for the overall development organisation
- Evaluation - is there a future for Model-Based Systems Engineering?
Looking forward - what are the necessary improvements for taking the next steps in Model- Based Systems Engineering? Prioritised research and development areas from Saab Aeronautics' perspective

The Next Generation Systems Modeling Language SysML v2

Presenter: Tim Weilkiens

Abstract: SysML v2 has just been adopted by the OMG. I give an overview of the standard, its development and the tool landscaope.

We then leave the high flying altitude and look on the lower level at a concrete example demonstrating the range from a simple descriptive application to precise models that can be evaluated.

Systems Engineering and System Simulation: Should we talk?

Presenter: Hubertus Tummescheit

Abstract: Systems Engineering (SE) and System Modeling and Simulation are obviously related, but in terms of standards and tools they could currently just as well be from different planets.
In this talk we will look at the status, the gaps, and the opportunities to achieve a coherent digital thread bridging System Simulation with SE. This will be from the perspective of the Modelica Association that develops and publishes freely available standards for system simulation, some of which have found a very broad adoption among tool vendors. Recent standards developments in the Modelica Association, and with SysML v2 by the OMG, show at least a “convergence of concern” between both communities. The SSP 2.0 standard made progress towards supporting the development of SE-inspired formal interface definitions and supporting a collaborative process between OEM and suppliers. The SSP-Traceability standard brings a core concept of a digital thread to the simulation world and offers a flexible and extensible data standard for capturing traceability in simulation processes. The presentation will present the standards in a digital thread context.
With these new standards there is a real and current opportunity to improve the interoperability between the SysML v2 standard, and the Modelica Association Standards. The talk concludes with exploring these opportunities.

Coping with Incredible Models and Simulations

Presenter: Robert Hällqvist

Abstract: This presentation aims to serve as a half-time report of the ITEA4 project Open
standards for SCALable virtual engineerING and operation (OpenSCALING).
The project addresses research ranging from hybrid modeling techniques, com-
bining physics-based and data-driven modeling, to the formulation and estab-
lishment of traceable Model-Based Development. This presentation focuses on
the processes, methods, and tools needed to achieve credible models and simu-
lations; both concerning M&S Operations as well as the numerical aspects of an
overall credibility assessment. The project ideological stand point is that stake-
holders are to communicate digitally, via stand-alone simulation packages, that
are incrementally refined throughout, in the end, all life-cycle phases. In other
words, models and simulator should carry information concerning credibility.
This presentation will summarize features of the relevant Modelica association
standards; including specific aspects of the newly released SSP 2.0, as well as
the format for communicating numerical aspects of credibility assessment that
is under development in the project. Furthermore, the intended use and value of
the technology is to be applied in an industrial context within OpenSCALING;
this demonstrator is currently under development and it will be presented as an
application example.

The concept of Complete Digital Engineering tread -> fundamentals for its implementation

Presenter: Juan Llorens

Abstract: According to INCOSE (www.incose.org) “Systems Engineering is a transdisciplinary and integrative approach to enable the successful realization, use, and retirement of engineered systems, using systems principles and concepts, and scientific, technological, and management methods.”
The systems engineering discipline, as understood by INCOSE, has become more mature and professional as the practitioners and researchers have embodied the experience and lessons learned of its practice. Systems principles are now clearer and more explicit (whole vs parts, interconnectedness of parts, hierarchy of elements, boundaries of the system and context modelling, emergence of characteristics and properties, optimization of system’s performance, separation of concerns, etc. etc.)
Among the most modern methods to professionalize the discipline, the systems engineers conceive the full support of a Digital Thread along the system’s life cycle, the enforcement of Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), the enabling of a Digital Twin approach to design, operation and support of the system, the integration of the modern Artificial Intelligence capabilities along the different processes in the ISO 15288 (including modern IoT information), etc.
All the previous (and more) trends are leading to a modern concept of System Lifecycle Management. One of the proposers of this evolving concept (Martin Eigner) states that: “System Lifecycle Management (SysLM) is an advanced information management solution that builds on Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). SysLM extends the traditional PLM approach by incorporating early-phase considerations and managing all system disciplines throughout the lifecycle.“
The conceptual intention of the Systems Lifecycle Management approach is to set the focus on full system lifecycle coverage by suggesting the integration of all the digital solutions of the Organization’s tools ecosystem, integrating everything (data, information, knowledge, functions, processes automation) in an engineering backbone, where PLM is one more of the digital systems to integrate (a really important one, but one more).
Even if PLMs cover and offer multiple necessary capabilities, the complete digital thread approach demands to integrate those capabilities inside the full system lifecycle support, covering the integration of hundreds of different digital tools (already existing and completely necessary) confirming the actual TOOLS ECOSYSTEM of any professional engineering organization.
To sum up, The System Lifecycle management notion is the conceptual framework to enable a full digital thread support, where organizations federate and integrate the PLM as the engineering management environment with the ERPs as the resources management environment, and with the hundreds of engineering production, system operation and support environments used to “perform-the work”.
This presentation will dig a little bit on how this concept can be understood and the theoretical needs for its implementation.
