Abstract
Systems of Systems Engineering (SoSE ) and Family of Systems Engineering (FoSE) continue to be two of the least well-understood SE disciplines. Knowledge of the SE standards significantly aids this understanding, including the relationship between SE, SoSE, and FoSE. This knowledge enhances any engineer's career. The goals of this presentation are to: 1) describe the SE standards heritage, processes, and products; 2) show the relationships between SE, SoSE, and FoSE based on these standards; 3) encourage and challenge the participants to read, understand, select, tailor, and apply these standards to SE, SoSE, and FoSE.
SE Stand on the Standards: Tutorial
Systems engineering and software engineering continue to be two of the least well-understood engineering disciplines. Knowledge of the systems and software engineering standards significantly aids this understanding, including the relationship between systems and software engineering and the relationship between systems engineering and systems of systems engineering.
The goals of this tutorial are to: 1) describe the systems engineering and software engineering standards heritage, processes, and products; 2) show the relationships between processes, products, and people based on these standards; and 3) encourage and challenge the participants to read, understand, select, tailor, and apply these standards, i.e., "stand on the standards," as opposed to relying solely on other sources such as instructions, procedures, guides, textbooks, education, training, and experience. Individuals may have an understanding of portions of systems and software engineering based on these other sources. Standards, developed by subject matter experts and approved by nationally recognized standards organizations, provide a more complete and common understanding.
***TOPIC***
- Jan 18, 2008 9AM - 12 : Systems Engineering and Software Engineering Processes, Products, and People from a Standards Perspective (Subtitle: Stand on the Standards) SPIN meeting
- Jan 18, 2008 1PM-5PM : Systems of Systems Engineering (SoSE ) and Family of Systems Engineering (FoSE) from a Standards Perspective and Systems Engineering Stand on the Standards INCOSE Tutorial
Lunch is on your own. The NGST cafeteria is within walking distance and is open to the public.
Please join us for the entire day, if you can. We can dig deeper into standards in the afternoon and have more time for dialogue.
Please RSVP shirleytseng@earthlink.net with your name and all day or morning or afternoon in email subject.
Example : email subject : Shirley Tseng : all Day
So that we can get the right number of handout and refreshment.
Your Presenter: John Clark, is a Chief Engineer in Northrop Grumman Mission Systems (NGMS). He is located at the Warfare Systems Engineering Department in Virginia Beach, VA. He currently supports the NGMS Directors of Process Management (SE) and Human Resources (SE Training). John has over 41 years experience applying SE and software engineering to the acquisition, development, verification/testing, operations, and support/maintenance of military command, control, communications, computer, intelligence, radar, sonar, electronic warfare, identification, weapon, network, scientific, and information systems. He is the NGMS alternate lead on the NG Systems Engineering Advisory Group (SEAG); the co-lead of the NGC SE Handbook Working Group (WG); the NGMS lead on the System of Systems Engineering (SoSE) Community of Practice (CoP), the Training WG, and the Industry WG; the co-lead of the SEAG Agile SE CoP; the NG lead on the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) SE Committee; the Director of Education and Training of the INCOSE Hampton Roads Area Chapter; a member of the IEEE SE Council and the IEEE 1220 WG; a member of the EIA-632A GEIA G-47 SE committee; the NG alternate representative to the US Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to ISO; a member of the review teams for ISO/IEC 15288, ISO/IEC 12207, ISO/IEC TR 24748, and the INCOSE SE Handbook; and a member of several INCOSE WGs. John is an internationally recognized speaker and Subject Matter Expert in SE, and teaches SE tutorials at major SE symposia including the INCOSE, SSTC, and SEAG symposia. He led the development of and is the lead instructor for the INCOSE Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP) course and the NGMS SE Associates (SEA) Forum course. John earned a BS in Electrical Engineering from the Pennsylvania State University and an MS in Electrical Engineering from the State University of New York.
