This presentation was made at the NAFEMS Americas Seminar "Model-Based Engineering: What is it & How Will It Impact Engineering Simulation" held on the 1st of October 2019 in Columbus Ohio

Resource Abstract

Model-based thinking and related approaches are essential in the modern engineering environments to remain competitive. To properly implement these approaches, a fundamental understanding its definition; the composition of the related ecosystem; and the requirements to deploy is necessary. The Systems Modeling and Simulation Working Group (SMSWG) plays the pivotal role to provide that directional guidance, discuss and share ideas, help to channel the applicable standards environment, establish proper taxonomy, and much more. In this presentation we will provide an overview of our activities, outline the SMS roadmap and discuss the holistic picture of SMS as it relates to MBE and related activities.



In addition, this presentation will highlight the partnership with INCOSE since the SMSWG is a joint working group between NAFEMS and INCOSE. The recent renewal of our MoU for another three years shows the strength of this partnership.
