Documents Requested At The Structural Modeling Project Video Conference

Team:

Peter raised an interesting question during the conference:

"What do you do before you decide to do structural modeling (ISM)?"

Due the the fact that structural modeling is a structured process, the
organization that implements the structural modeling approach must
have an existing organizational control structure.

The organizational control structure decides when or if structural
modeling techniques will be implemented.

The attached paper and slides, "U.S. Dept. of Defense Systems
Engineering & Implications for SE Implementation in Other Domains,"
addresses the pre-implementation question to some degree.

Further, Dr. Henry Cellar Alberts discussed similar issues in his
dissertation, "Redesigning the United States Defense Acquisition
System."
