The limitations of model-based support for engineering complex systems include limited
capability to develop multifaceted models as well as their analysis with robust reliable …

Illicit supply chains for products like counterfeit Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) are
characterized by sparse data and great uncertainty about the operational and logistical …

The modeling and simulation (M&S) of complex systems often requires models described at
different levels of detail characterized by differences in abstraction hierarchies and/or time …

Abstract System entity structure has been used since the 1970s as a formal ontology
framework, axiomatically defined, to represent the elements of a system of systems and their …

The design of fault-free hybrid control systems, which combine discrete and continuous
behavior, is a challenging task. Their hybrid behavior and further factors make their design …

ABSTRACT The System Entity Structure (SES) is a high level approach for variability
modeling, particularly in simulation engineering, which is under continuous development. In …

This paper highlights the accomplishments and shared vision between the International
Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) and the Modeling and Simulation community …

System Entity Structures (SES) are used to define families of systems. In this context they are
employed in combination with a model base (MB) to describe a set of simulation models …

In the design of manufacturing systems the consideration of resource usage, especially
energy consumption, is getting more attention. However, the inclusion of all relevant …

ABSTRACT Systems of Systems (SoS) that include intelligence and adaptability exhibit high
complexity that cannot be easily tackled using classic system engineering techniques …
