Albuquerque , USA
ATA, 1300 Britt Street, SE. GlobalMeet7, see Link above
Abstract: While complex systems transform the landscape the Systems Engineering discipline is also experiencing a transformation to model based discipline. In alignment with this one of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) strategic objectives is to accelerate this transformation. INCOSE is building a broad community that promotes and advances model based methods. This model based transformation is necessary to advance the discipline and handle the seamless integration of computational algorithms and physical components across domains and traditional system boundaries. This presentation will cover current and planned INCOSE activities directed at accelerating this transformation.
Bio: Troy Peterson is Vice President and Fellow at System Strategy Inc. a systems consulting business. Previous to this role Troy was a Booz Allen Fellow and the firm’s Chief Systems Engineer responsible for instituting capabilities to manage complexity engineer resiliency and speed innovation.
