Increasing system complexity has provided the impetus to develop new and novel systems
engineering methodologies. One of these methodologies is set‐based design (SBD), a …

This article discusses ongoing research investigating the feasibility of supporting an
interoperability and integration framework to enable the digital thread, or an authoritative …

In current practice, a verification strategy is defined at the beginning of an acquisition
program and is agreed upon by customer and contractor at contract signature. Hence, the …

Verification is a critical process in the development of engineered systems. Through
verification, engineers gain confidence in the correct functionality of the system before it is …

System design is an exercise in sequential decision-making, with the objective of
develo** resilient and affordable systems. Throughout the design process, engineering …

The Engineered Resilient Systems research program seeks to improve decision making in
the Analysis of Alternatives process by leveraging model-based engineering (MBE) early in …

Data-driven design approaches such as Multi-Attribute Tradespace Exploration and Set-
Based Design are increasing in popularity due to their ability to capture broader decision …

Engineering complex systems is an exercise in sequential multiobjective decision making
under uncertainty. One method for handling this complexity and uncertainty is set‐based …

Coordinating the collaboration within sub-structured teams created for large engineering
projects presents several challenges. Set-based concurrent engineering (SBCE), by …

This chapter examines the use of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) tools to
perform trade-off analysis of alternative systems decisions throughout the system life cycle …
