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...

4 Criticisms of SysML 2: Please use with caution
Michael Pierce from TSP has written an essay with his colleague Bruce Cameron in which he criticizes SysML. On the one hand, it is worth reading for organizations that are considering the strategic use of SysML. Because many of the points are quite valid. On the other hand, I don't think all the criticisms are justified, at least not without qualifying them further. Nevertheless...

PTC buys Intland (Codebeamer)
Among other things, Intland is known for Codebeamer, a tool for requirements management. Intland has now been bought by PTC. This type of acquisition is not unusual and is reminiscent of the purchase of Polarion by Siemens in 2015. What does PTC expect from this and what does it mean for systems engineers? An analysis:
Work more efficiently with the Semiant glossary browser extension
Glossaries are a tricky thing: on the one hand, everyone in the team is grateful when there is a well-maintained glossary. On the other hand, nobody wants to take on the work of creating it. The coordination process can also lead to disgruntlement and consume vast amounts of time. And even if there is a good glossary: There is a great danger that many...
5 possibilities for automation in requirements management with AI
Even if AI - Artificial Intelligence - is a platitudinous term, AI is undoubtedly finding its way into systems engineering. AI is generally about the automation of intelligent behavior. The important keyword is "automation". AI enables a degree of automation that would not have been possible even five years ago. For requirements management, this means that...
