5 things we need for an MBSE ecosystem: Answers from the MESConf Open Space
At MESConf, we discussed in an open space how we can replicate the success of software ecosystems for an MBSE ecosystem.
Spaghetti modeling with MBSE: Not like this!
Spaghetti modeling is a common mistake when using MBSE. This checklist helps to avoid mistakes.
The error in thinking about the software-defined vehicle
Everyone is talking about the software-defined vehicle. However, system thinking and the importance of architecture are often forgotten.
Which of these 3 start-ups will crack the complexity problem?
Several start-ups are trying to solve the complexity problem in product development: Flow Engineering, Spread AI and Spicy SE.
Try out SysML v2 with Jupyter Notebook (Video)
There are now several reference implementations of SysML v2, including a Jupyter notebook, which I will present in 2 minutes.
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.
3 reasons why MBSE is not dead
Lately, I've been reading more and more often that MBSE is in a deep crisis. Of course, this may be because I am in the filter bubble of my own network. It may also be because we are following the Gartner hype cycle and MBSE has passed the peak of inflated expectations. I don't think MBSE is dead, and many others...
Don't Panic! SysML v2 Book Review
Even though SysML v2 is not yet an official standard, there is already at least one book on it: The authors Tim Weilkiens and Christian Muggeo, known from the MBSE podcast, have recently published the book "Don't Panic! - The Absolute Beginners Guide to SysML v2". Here is the review of the book. Is the book worth reading? I will...
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: Avoid spaghetti models with the right package structure
It is amazing how quickly the number of elements in a system model grows. It is therefore essential to structure them correctly from the outset. Otherwise we quickly end up with "spaghetti models". This refers to models that look like a ball of spaghetti and are therefore difficult to understand. But almost all modeling languages, including SysML, give us...
What is System Lifecycle Management (SysLM)?
Readers of this blog will frown at the title at first: Is SysLM a typo? Do we need System Lifecycle Management when we already have Systems Engineering (SE) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)? I am writing this article for the occasion, as I will be giving the presentation at the Polarion Spring Conference in Heidenheim (and online) on March 1, 2024....
