INCOSE Vision 2035
The INCOSE Systems Engineering Vision 2035 describes trends in systems engineering and how we can utilize these developments.
8 ways in which AI will change the development of product lines
AI is transforming many areas of product development. In this article, we examine the possibilities with regard to product lines.
How AI accelerates product development
We have centuries of experience in product development. But the recent exponential increase in product complexity means that current development approaches are reaching their limits. Fortunately, artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to overcome these limits. I am convinced that by combining MBSE and AI, we can mitigate many challenges. Why this is the case...
Your opinion is needed: What will happen in systems engineering in 2021?
"Forecasts are difficult, especially when they concern the future." There is certainly something to this oft-repeated quote. That's why I'm not venturing to answer it alone, but invite all readers to venture a forecast. I will publish the results on December 31, 2020. To take part (and a few more thoughts from...
Trends in Capella
I am pleased to publish for the second time a guest article by Michael Schäfer, who already reported on Capella and ARCADIA last year. In the following, he reports on the expected trends regarding Capella, an open source platform for system development.
What is the INCOSE Vision 2025, and will it be fulfilled?
The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) is a non-profit organization that operates worldwide. Five years ago, the "Vision 2025" was published, in which several trends in systems engineering were predicted. The document is now about halfway through. To what extent does Vision 2025 seem to have predicted the right direction? And how far is...
6 trends in embedded systems that will change systems engineering
There is no question that a transformation is taking place in product development: New technologies are making new products possible and we are changing the way we think about established products, such as cars. But what trends are driving this transformation? Below I describe six trends based on Jean-Marc Chery's keynote speech, which he gave at the...
Six trends in requirements engineering
This blog has already talked about trends in systems engineering. Today we're talking about requirements engineering (RE), a related discipline. The trends presented here are based on an Innovation Trends study in which Robin Calhoun and Steve Gotsch from Jama Software took part alongside myself.
What we can expect in 2019: complexity and change
The world of systems engineering has been changing for a while now. Change will accelerate even further in 2019 and will be one of the dominant themes we encounter on many levels: From the transformation of entire organizations, to a better way of dealing with change. Among other things, change is being driven by the exponentially increasing complexity...
What does the Internet of Things (IoT) mean for requirements engineering?
The Internet of Things (IoT) is currently all the rage. But it actually just means connecting objects from the real world to the internet. As with many buzzwords, the concept is not new: systems have been networked for decades. In the past, however, this primarily applied to industrial niche applications...
New architectures in systems engineering
This article was inspired by Peter Siwon, who has written on the subject in the past in the context of embedded development.
Looking back: One year of SE Trends
SE Trends was launched in October 2015, almost exactly one year ago. Time for a little review: Is the focus right, are my readers getting added value? I would be delighted to receive feedback on the following questions, either in the comments section below or personally by email. Does it help you? For me the...
