Our Strategy and Approach to Systems Engineering Practice

Promote Automation for Multidisciplinary Information-Based Design Systems engineers at NASA face several major challenges (e.g., synthesis of systems from modular components; support for team development in multi-national projects; growing importance of systems dominated by data/information). We need to find ways to automate the capture and processing of data/information relevant to engineering system development. Figure : Requirements Engineering Processes supported by Semantic Web Technology Systems engineering development processes (e.g., requirements engineering) and the Semamtic Web are both "chaotic systems-of-systems." Systems engineering methodologies and tools for automation can benefit from advances in Semamtic Web Technology!
