SAN DIEGO (06
January 2023) – The International Council on Systems Engineering
(INCOSE) is pleased to announce the launch of the latest Future for Systems Engineering
(FuSE) Initiative to deliver the Systems Engineering Vision 2035. The aim of this
initiative is to develop the roadmap that achieves the goals outlined in the SE Vision 2035.
The goal of this initiative is to Inspire the global community to realize
the Vision of Systems Engineering. The INCOSE Leadership is focused on
driving this forward, starting with the annual INCOSE International Workshop (IW) in 2023
focusing on FuSE; as well as the usual working group activities of planning products,
revising charters, updating webpages, etc.
Ralf Hartmann, INCOSE President-Elect says “With the SE
Vision 2035 we have given to the world and to ourselves an extraordinary piece
of inspiration and ambition for the future. We have raised the bar significantly
for the global SE community and for INCOSE as an organization. Therefore, we are
now strongly increasing our efforts through the “Future of Systems Engineering”
initiative helping us to live up to this expectation. Of course, this is a challenge
which needs to be addressed together with strong global partners from all domains.
To get these collaborations in place will be the initial challenge to be mastered.
I am really happy that we were able to get an outstanding leadership team together
to act as key thought leaders for the FuSE initiative.”
The FuSE element of
IW will be made up of four streams:
Systems Engineering Vision & Roadmaps Stream; The
Systems Engineering Vision and Roadmaps stream continuously refines, evolves,
and complements the SE Vision 2035. Furthermore, we create an integrated set of
roadmaps across the four FuSE streams. The IW 2023 goal is to frame the structural
relationships and value models to support the roadmaps creation.
Systems Engineering
Foundations stream; the foundations and identification of gaps to determine
future directions. Special consideration will be given to the theoretical foundation
of the SE as a discipline on one hand and the practical application foundations
using principles and heuristics on the other hand.
Systems Engineering
Methodologies stream; The SE Methodology stream guides the advancement
of practices, methods, and tools for the effective engineering of systems to be
fit for purpose in the presence of varying scale, interrelatedness, complexity,
non-determinism, and emerging technology innovations such as AI and agility.
Systems Engineering Application Extensions stream; The SE Application
Extensions stream integrates social sciences, soft systems, as well as initiatives
such as Smart Cities to address grand challenges to meet human and societal needs
as stated in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. |
