Title: Key Modeling Principles to Moderate the Growth of Model Technical Debt in MBSE
Abstract: MBSE is the emerging practice of systems engineering (SE) in which descriptive models replace documents as the embodiment of SE knowledge. Consciously applying appropriate model architecting principles and practices is essential to make well-informed architectural decisions about the models to prevent the accumulation of excessive model technical debt. This presentation explains the nature of technical debt in descriptive models and describes 24 foundational principles that model architects should consider when making these architectural decisions and the technical debt tradeoffs that result when those principles are not followed. Applying disciplined model architecting practices to conscientiously manage the accrual and payoff of technical debt can make the difference between an enduring model that provides substantial value throughout the life cycle of the modeled entity and a model whose value collapses under the weight of uncontrolled technical debt.
