Dear Members, Friends, & Colleagues, please join us for our June General Membership In-Person meeting at Cascadia Pizza in Bellevue, WA: Date: Wednesday, 6/12/2024, 5:45PM Featured Speaker: Steve Holt Bio: Steve Holt is a Technical Fellow in Boeing Systems Engineering with a primary focus on the socio-technical aspects of Systems Engineering, especially for the development of large scale, complex products. He has had a longer career than he ever expected across several disciplines. He is a practitioner and instructor in Theory of Constraints, Cynefin Framework, and Applied Critical Thinking. Dealing with Emergence in Model Based Engineering - Fewer surprise failures and more “happy little accidents” Abstract: Emergence is what happens when the whole is more than the sum of the parts. It is both something we count on and something we fear in product development. When we can confidently design an airplane capable of doing things that none of its constituent elements can do alone this is Weak Emergence. Our skill at creating intentional Weak Emergence is the basis for much of our technical success and many Systems Engineering decomposition and integration approaches. But sometimes we are surprised by things that we didn’t expect. That is unintentional emergence. It may be good or bad, an opportunity or a problem. The extreme case, Strong Emergence, cannot be predicted in advance by analysis. It is not simply engineering error or insufficient training. Even error free models created by experts will not be able to predict Strong Emergence. As we move deeper into a world of Model Based Engineering and more and more models are connected in a common ecosystem, we face increasing risk that we will be unable to anticipate emergent behavior. This presentation will focus on the risks we face with emergence, how our current approach to Model Based Engineering alone may be inadequate to address the risks, and recommendations for what we can do to gain the benefits of emergence and avoid the downside failures.
