In a keynote speech, Andy Howells described how Changan is transforming product development with MBSE. This is an exciting topic, as there are far too few case studies from the SE. Changan is a Chinese automotive supplier that has recently started to produce its own vehicles. To support this, the company has set up seven research centers worldwide, and Andrew Howells has been actively involved.

The battle for the car: with open source against Google
ByMichael Jastram June 11, 2020June 10, 2020
Conceptually, the car has changed comparatively little in a hundred years. The changes that we will experience in the next 10-20 years will be all the more drastic. We have seen a similar change in telephony, which has changed little in around 100 years, but was then radically transformed by new technologies. Particularly interesting here...

Complexity and change - also in 2020
ByMichael Jastram January 9, 2020January 9, 2020
A year ago, I made a few predictions for the coming year. There is no doubt that these topics have dominated the last twelve months. What else happened in 2019 and why these topics will be relevant for years to come is discussed below.

From the requirement to the model
ByMichael Jastram April 7, 2016June 22, 2017
An important discipline of systems engineering is the analysis of requirements. There are enough studies to prove that solving a problem in the requirements phase is orders of magnitude cheaper than in later phases. Requirements analysis is therefore of particular importance. In this article, I present a method to go from requirements to a solid model...

From specification models to requirements
ByCarsten Pitz November 25, 2021July 4, 2022
Model-based working is one way of dealing with increasing complexity. However, it is not easy to work successfully in a team based on models. In this respect, it is often helpful to get impulses from practice. In today's guest article, Carsten Pitz reports on how specification models help to bridge the gap between requirements and the world of modeling.

Tracking up to the code: Is that possible?
ByMichael Jastram 28. may 202027. may 2020
To answer the question in the title straight away: Traceability from requirement to code is of course possible. But the effort involved is considerable. When this makes sense and how it can be implemented is the subject of this article.
