Abstract
System 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, the V-Model, and particularly the 3-dimensional Dual-V Model, significantly aids this understanding, including the relationship between SE, SoSE, and FoSE. The goals of this presentation are to: 1) define SoS, SoSE, and FoSE from an SE standards perspective; 2) describe the original V-Model and the Dual-V Model; 3) show how to apply the SE standards, V-Model, and Dual-V Model to a system, to SoSs, and to FoSs; and 4) encourage and challenge the participants to understand, select, tailor, and apply the SE standards, V-Model, and Dual-V model to complex SoSs and FoSs. Individuals may have an understanding of portions of SE, SoSE, and FoSE based on other sources. The SE standards, the V-Model, and the Dual-V Model, provide a more complete and common understanding.
Your Presenter: JOHN O. CLARK is a Chief Engineer in the Information Systems Sector of Northrop Grumman. He is located at the Warfare Systems Engineering Department in Virginia Beach, VA.

He led the development of and is the lead instructor for the INCOSE Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP) course, and is both an INCOSE CSEP and qualified to be a Certification Application Reviewer (CAR). John has over 42 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 an active member of several Northrop Grumman Corporate Systems Engineering Advisory Group (SEAG) Working Groups and Communities of Practice; the Director of Education and Training of the INCOSE Hampton Roads Area Chapter; a member of the IEEE 1220 working group; a member of the EIA-632A GEIA G-47 SE committee; the co-lead of the GEIA Technical Reviews and Audits Working Group; the alternate NGC member of the US Technical Advisory Group to ISO, and a member of the review teams for ISO/IEC 15288, ISO/IEC 12207, ISO/IEC TR 19760, ISO/IEC TR 24748, and the INCOSE SE Handbook. He is an internationally recognized speaker and Subject Matter Expert in SE and teaches SE tutorials at major SE symposia. John received a BS in Electrical Engineering from the Pennsylvania State University and an MS in Electrical Engineering from the State University of New York. He is an adjunct instructor in the MSSE curriculum at Old Dominion University and will be an instructor in SE at Rutgers University in 2009.
