OPS-SAT: Reverse engineering with MBSE at ESA
Modeling in systems engineering has many advantages. However, if an organization does not yet have (much) experience in model-based systems engineering (MBSE), this approach is risky. The European Space Agency (ESA) took an interesting intermediate route with the OPS-SAT: The team developed the satellite traditionally, i.e. document-based. This approach is very mature at ESA. But after...
8 ideas for the use of AI for MBSE
AI opens up new possibilities, including in MBSE. The MESCONF modeling conference will take place in Munich on 22 and 23 June. However, the topic of AI is dominant: on the one hand through a keynote speech by Jan Seyler from Festo. On the other hand, I will be offering an open space session on AI & MBSE. Together with the participants, I would like to...
