Abstract: 

INCOSE and the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC) have been collaborating on roadmaps for the future of systems engineering. Additionally, the Department of Defense (DoD) has initiated a Systems Engineering Modernization initiative aimed at integrating various systems engineering practices. Digital Engineering, Digital Ecosystems, and Digital Twins are currently trending concepts. Generative AI offers an exciting technology that enhances our approach to systems engineering. Semantic ontologies provide a way to define systems and can work alongside Generative AI to design and construct them. However, what if many of these anticipated capabilities are already available or nearly so? What does the true future of systems engineering look like? This presentation will demonstrate how SPEC Innovations' tool, Innoslate, has advanced the state of technology, offering a way to access this projected "future" today. 

Bios: 
Dr. Steven H. Dam, Ph.D., ESEP, is the President and Founder of the Systems and Proposal Engineering Company, operating as SPEC Innovations, based in Manassas, VA. With over 40 years of experience in structured analysis, software development, and systems engineering, he participated in the development of the C4ISR Architecture Framework (now known as DoDAF), the Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA), and Net-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) architecture. He is currently applying systems engineering techniques to various projects for the DoD and Department of Energy (DOE).  

Dr. Dam is the author of four books focused on systems engineering, including his most recent publication, "Real MBSE: Model-Based Systems Engineering Using LML and Innoslate." He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from George Mason University and a PhD in Physics from the University of South Carolina.  

Dr. Dam is also an INCOSE-certified Expert Systems Engineering Professional (ESEP), an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), and a member of both the Systems Engineering Technical Committee and the Digital Engineering Integration Committee. He currently serves as the Secretary of the Lifecycle Modeling Organization and has been a long-time member of the LML Steering Committee.
