Trends and debates: Highlights of ReConf 2024
The big trend at ReConf 2024 was AI. Other highlights included debates on MBSE and news on ReqIF.
Embedded World: Little MBSE, lots of AI
Edge AI was the dominant topic at Embedded World 2024. The topic of systems engineering was of little importance.
Polarion spring conference: Interesting developments at Siemens
I had the pleasure of attending the Polarion Spring Conference last week. Most readers will know that Polarion is a web-based requirements management tool. The focus of the event was Systems Lifecycle Management, so it was about much more than just Polarion. In particular, there are some interesting developments at Siemens, the manufacturer of Polarion.
SysML v2 Plenum: Putting pressure in the right places
Version 2 of the Systems Modeling Language (SysML v2) is currently generating a lot of activity. The standard was recently adopted and manufacturers are working on tools. Many in the systems engineering community are now asking themselves: Is SysML v2 a game changer? Will everything simply continue as before? Or will the standard even die out, as users...
TdSE Keynote by Nico Michels: It doesn't work without systems engineering!
The keynote speech at this year's Systems Engineering Day (TdSE) was given by Nico Michels. He is responsible for the Digital Enterprise & Academics division at Siemens Digital Industries Software. The topic: Sustainability for companies and the role of systems engineering. He provided important impulses to help decision-makers understand the importance of systems engineering for sustainability....
TdSE lecture: AI as a mediator between humans and system models
In his presentation at TdSE 2023, Michael Jastram will show how AI can act as an intermediary between humans and system models.
Exciting events: The November of Systems Engineering
This November, the Society for Systems Engineering (GfSE) is organizing two interesting events. Reason enough to briefly report on them: The systems.camp Nord will take place in Hamburg on 11.11.2023 and the Tag des Systems Engineering (TdSE) on 15-17.11.2023 in Würzburg. I will be giving a presentation and a tutorial at TdSE.
Gojko Adzic: 5 predictions for requirements management in the next 20 years
Gojko Adzic's attempt at this year's REConf is a bold one: how will requirements management develop over the next 20 years? As a successful book author and long-standing expert in software-heavy product development, Gojko has the right expertise. But 20 years is a long time - especially when it comes to making predictions about technology. In the following...
Aligning requirements and system model with AI
With AI, we can create MBSE models from text and compare requirements and system models. But there are still problems.
Fun for better communication in systems engineering
Communication in systems engineering is essential in order to cope with the challenges posed by increasing complexity. This applies to communication within the team as well as the communication of SE (training, presentations) and the exchange with others outside the daily environment. Ideally with a little (or a lot) of fun. In this guest article, Klaus describes...
ReConf again at last!
ReConf is the largest conference on requirements management in Germany. I have attended the event almost every year since 2007, mostly as a speaker. ReConf usually takes place in March. The year before last, it coincided directly with the start of the coronavirus pandemic, which is why ReConf 2020 was unfortunately canceled at short notice. However, after several postponements, it will take place on...
5 reasons to be part of systems.camp digital 2022
It's that time again: The next systems.camp will take place on March 26. Like last year, it will be an online event. That's a shame, because we all miss the personal contact. But it's also nice because it means there are no travel costs. But... why take part at all? There are a lot of reasons....
