INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL ON SYSTEMS ENGINEERING 


A better world through a systems approach.

The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) is a not-for-profit membership organization founded to develop and disseminate the transdisciplinary principles and practices that enable the realization of successful systems. INCOSE is designed to connect systems engineering professionals with educational, networking, and career-advancement opportunities in the interest of developing the global community of systems engineers and systems approaches to problems. We are also focused on producing state-of-the-art work products that support and enhance this discipline’s visibility in the world.

Abstract:
This presentation will consider the challenge of the Systems Engineering of AI-Intensive Systems (SE4AI) with a particular focus on their high reliance on data for model design verification, model training and model validation. The presentation will examine contemporary AI/ML development approaches, identifying these to be largely software based “bottom-up” driven by technological advancements, and perceived to lack a holistic top-down “end-to-end” systems-based perspective. Concepts and principles from systems thinking, modelling & simulation, and situation awareness are then briefly described as exaptive enabling building blocks, for integration into best-practice evolutionary SE life-cycle processes. A proposed tailored evolutionary SE life-cycle process, with a focus on model design verification, model training and model validation data is then described across key-phases in an evolutionary life-cycle context in terms of phase objectives, a proposed refinement to phase activities to cater for ML systems and proposed phase outcomes. Related initiatives of direct relevance to Ai-Intensive systems are also identified, followed by a summary and conclusion.
